“Curious about actual true speed. Most "gigabit" wifi routers have an actual transfer speed of maybe 300 to 400 megabits at best. Is the transfer speed guaranteed assuming a decent connection? Rhetorical or diversionary answers not needed.”

Hi! You can achieve a gigabit speed in an ideal setup with optimized router settings. However, there's no guaranteed Wi-Fi speed because each network environment is unique, and the actual speed may vary for each user. Wired connections are more consistent though, and can reach up to a gigabit as long as the modem provides that speed. Wi-Fi is where you usually experience speed fluctuations.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Like all mesh networks, the further you are from the parent node, the slower the transmission is. However, I have seen transmission speed of 600 to 700 MB on a one gig fiber modem, both ways. I also have my system attached to a wired switch, and that network gets almost one gig up and down. As I am writing this, I am up in my bedroom using a child note, and I have a download speed of 500 MB and an upload speed of 470 MB.

I would say as long as your devices have an "AX" wireless adapter, in optimal conditions, you should get gigabit+ transfer between devices. I only have 3 devices with "AX" adapters and get more than 1gbit between them, however my other devices get around 500mbits. My internet doesn't drop below 300mbits anywhere in my house, on a 500mbit connection. So environmental variables determine your wireless speed, so research your devices and adapter capabilities, then run a wifi analyzer to determine if you don't have too much "traffic". This triband has the 6Ghz band which gives you an extra band of radio. These routers are capable of going beyond gigabit, but the devices need to be "AX" or "AX-E" also known as Wifi6 and Wifi6E. Hope this helps.
