Then I did side-by-side speed tests with my Samsung Note 20 connected to it, then just my phone on it's own using 5G data directly. There was a huge difference in speed. Around 80Mbps (downlink) through the gateway vs. 500Mbps via my phone. Why is the gateway so much slower? Any insight? Thanks!
Have you done any reconfigurations to the gateway that might have your WiFi-6 capable phone connect as non-Wifi-6?
When you perform your speed test, are you selecting the same server for both tests?
