no its the router. it can only handle 867Mb/s and its half duplex for wifi

so you mean 50mb/s, not 50mB/s then?

 

867mb/s is the therotical peal, realworld 500mb/s would be very good.

 

Id just get a better access point like this guy https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Band-AiMesh-Router-AC1900-System/dp/B00FB45SI4/ref=sxin_5_osp4-292a8d86_cov?ascsubtag=292a8d86-f312-4d63-a3a8-98f564248f95&creativeASIN=B00FB45SI4&cv_ct_id=amzn1.osp.292a8d86-f312-4d63-a3a8-98f564248f95&cv_ct_pg=search&cv_ct_wn=osp-search&keywords=wifi%2Brouter&linkCode=oas&pd_rd_i=B00FB45SI4&pd_rd_r=0d524f25-1417-4193-9eaa-2c2d151d3dd1&pd_rd_w=jvfGg&pd_rd_wg=J6Pmy&pf_rd_p=43ba9e17-96f5-4491-b054-e546013f7dc4&pf_rd_r=4A1PFDTMH8KN6WHB8JQ6&qid=1562645858&s=gateway&tag=windowscentralosp-20&th=1

yea but then configuring settings like portforwading will have to be done on both routers

nope, just on the current router as the other device would be running as a switch only, not doing nat or any routing.

why do opensense, it won't help your wifi speeds, you need a faster access point and/or client to get better wifi speeds.

 

Are you running at 5g for wifi?
