I'm measuring with the Xfinity Speed Test.
...but also on the AP client screen someone posted earlier I see exactly 400M for both the Samsung S21 Ultra and the Dell 7590 with the killer card.
I probably *do* have some interference from neighbors hoises but not multiunit housing or major urban interference.

I think this is an internet speedtest, how fast is your internet?

@VrQxt8

Please post a screenshot of the complete status page.

400Mbit are 40Mhz 2x2 and not 80Mhz

And besides, it is really important to always specify the correct rate and not approximate 400Mbit

I like Speedtest because it is browser independent and can choose local sites. But i also use several browser sites such as Fast with the same results.

I like nperf.com better, its is much more detailed and different measurements taken in comparison.

It is also more accurate IMO.

OK, you called it. 400Mbps *was* 40Mhz channels.

The problem is due to the "Extension Channel" setting being fiddly.

If it is set in an invalid manner, it will stick, switch to 40Mhz and change the channel back to "Auto" AND the "Channel Width" still shows "VHT80 (80 MHz)" even thought it is *actually* operating at 40Mhz.

Now I've got it working at 866Mbps PHY speed.

Thanks all for the help and advice.
I would have given up had I not know what was possible (866Mbps PHY speed on the Asus R6700 router).

Also, the suggestion to explicitly set the channel ultimately tipped me off to the channel setting flipping itself back to auto; it was then that I realized the Extension Channel setting might be invalid.

For anyone new, the settings I posted above are the good working config.
