I purchased an AX6000 wifi 6 router and My MacBook Pro 13" 2019 shows a link on network utility of around 300 Mbits and that is about the limit of my speeds. I know it doesn't have wifi 6 but it does support AC. My almost decade old MacBook Air only shows a link speed of 11 Mbit but I can do network speed tests of over 450 Mbits. I have a gigabit connection which when hardwired gets around 8-900 Mbits. Does the 13 inch have worse wifi than the ancient MacBook Air? I figured I must have something wrong, I thought it would at least have 600 through MIMO. Could it be some setting, or did they take out antennas on this that it is limited to 300? I have a pretty old Windows NUC that the built in wifi gets over 800 Mbits on this router. Just curious if this is a mistake or just this laptop.


I tried searching google but am having the hardest time getting concrete info.
Thanks for any help.
