That makes no sense. That device is almost bleeding edge and should be just as fast if not faster than your router. Only thing I can think of is the ethernet port out of the modem isn't gigabit and that's why it's slower.

I get full gigabit when wired in, it’s definitely the WiFi that is the bottleneck.

With the Dream Machine built-in AP I get 400-500mbps down, compared to the xFi which got nearly full gigabit speeds. This is with direct line of sight to the access point, maybe 8 feet away.
