And not just the X6S, but also whatever 300$ Netgear router he said he bought.

 

Conclusion, netgear routers have terrible routing performance even for high end ones. 

That is actually a common thing that unfortunately nobody actually reviews or makes comparative lists about, but most "gigabit" home routers that usually advertise even faster speeds on wifi actually aren't able to route traffic anywhere that fast. All they quote is the interface speed standard, but nothing about actual performance and how they can make use of those interfaces.

 

Update: you were 100% correct. I finally got a new router from tp-link and it worked perfectly right away. It's giving me the full speed.
