Maybe it’s the Ethernet adaptor? Is it an older USB one?
At half duplex with Wireless N protocol at best you'll get 135 mbps so your wifi speeds are about as expected on 40 MHz N protocol.wfallen wrote:Channel 36 (5GHz, 40MHz)

It should show you additional wifi connection information. Some important things to look at are the PHY Mode, Channel and Tx Rate.
You need to have a clean Wireless AC signal to reach anywhere near a gigabit and you'd need one of the rare 4x4 MIMO chips as well.
A Macbook Pro has a 3x3 AC chip so at 80 MHz using 3 AC streams (450 mbps + 450 mbps + 450 mbps) you'll get around 700 mbps theoretical maximum on a MBP. The only way to get gigabit reliably and consistently is through hard wired quality CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6a cables to a device which has decent gigabit ethernet NICs and a CPU that can process at that speed.
Recommend an
Ubiquiti AC PRO https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079DSW6XX/re ... 57694&sr=1
+ poe injector https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PoE15 ... jector+48w
or a TP-Link EAP245. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless ... rds=eap245
TLDR: Get a 3x3 AC wireless access point and set bandwidth at 80 MHz.
