Wifi settings help

[Dosoutos]

I recently upgraded my fibre line to 1000/100mbps. I have a Tp-link ac1750 archer c7 with gigabit wifi. My problem is I cannot seem to get anywhere near the speed through wifi. My wired connection gives me 980/97mbps but I only get around 80/90mbps on 2.4ghz and 370/100mbps on 5ghz at best. There is very little interference and I am testing right next to the router. I've tried different channels etc but no difference. Are there any settings I need to change to achieve something near what I should be getting?
Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks

What device see you connecting with? Not many devices are able to do more than 370 mbps over Wi-Fi.

The lower speed on 2.4ghz could be due to channel width.

You're not going to see gigabit Wi-Fi unless you spend a significant amount of money.

That 1300Mbps on the TP-Link is theoretical, it could maybe get that speed in a lab.

You need to look into Ubiquity gear

You're gonna max out at 400Mbit on WiFi with that, only enterprise kit can push that much traffic over wifi (and over very short distances)

Your experience seems to be about par

In real-world testing using Ixia's ixChariot software in a crowded office environment with lots of Wi-Fi networks, the C7 did well overall. It hit a peak throughput of 360.6 Mbps over both its channels at 5 feet. The C7's performance on the 802.11n (2.4 GHz) band was below par, hitting a peak of 59.2 Mbps and only doing this from 15 feet away.

That's crazy, I can get the same speeds, if not better, on my Tp- link ac750 rated at 300 and 433 for 2.4 and 5ghz. 30%of the rated speed is ridiculous.

The difference here isn't in the connection to a single device, but to multiple devices. In other words you're looking at the cumulative speed of many devices connected at the same time

No you can't, try it in the real world and see.

I've been using the ac750 for the last year with 2.4ghz speeds averaging around 104/101mbps. Granted, 5ghz is slower, averaging around 225/96mbps but that's still only around 50% loss compared to 70% loss on the ac1750.

You can set the channel bandwidth to 80MHz if it isn't already and the device you're connecting to also makes a difference.

Your phone, tablet or Wi-Fi adaptor maybe just don't support higher speeds.
