hello all, 

My home network setup is fairly simple

FIBER MODEM -> AX23 (WAN using DHCP) 

Test 1

When I directly connect to the modem over an ethernet cable I am able to get speeds of upto 900+ mpbps up and down on a gigabit fiber. This should be the expected behaviour since it is a gigabit connectivity 

Test 2

When I connect the Cat cable from the modem to the WAN port on AX23 and connect the same laptop on the LAN port to run the speed test; throughput drops to ~93 MPBPS for both up and down

Test 3

Finally when I connect to the wireless 5g channel and repeat the test the throughput is hovers around the 84 MPBPS for download and 94 MBPS for upload. The laptop is in close proximity to the router with no physical obstruction

I thought that the AX23 has a gigabit port and also support speeds of 1201 Mbps on the 5 GHz channel. Hence Test 2 and Test 3 should have been very close to results of Test 1 results. There is no special configuration on the AX23. It just uses the family shield DNS servers and DOES NOT have any QOS configuration

I have summarized the results in a simple image

Am I missing something obvious. Could you please help me rectify the problem

Thanks
