My internet provider advertises 100 mbps, but only delivers 60 in my neighborhood.

The problem may be your connection from your modem to your router. I would change out that cable. I just clocked 180+ mbps on my phone using the Speedtest app.

Does your laptop support AC wireless connections? If so you need to be on the 5 MHz network.

Did anyone answer you? I'm no professional but I've been told many times that wireless signal isn't a constant and affected by many factors vs wired. When I call AT&T they always request me to attach to a ethernet cord. Did anyone tell you something different? If yes please tell me, I'll never get 100mbps from Att, maybe kbps lol , but anyway to improve what we do get sounds great. Thanks!

In my experience you will never get the full router speed connecting WiFi as you get when connected via wired connection. To get the best speed possible, make sure you are connecting to the 5G WiFi channel and not the 2G channel.

Per multiple inquiries to TWC and online research, this is normal operation and to be expected. You also loose bandwidth if your router is separate from your modem, so I opted for a combo device.
