Any routers that can get close to gigabit on wifi?

[rc3ilynt]

Recently just switched from Spectrum to Fios Instant 750/750,(not quite gigabit but getting there) and it seems my Asus RT-AC68U maxes out at 450/450 on the 5GHZ band. Wanted to know if this was the limit of more current routers as well. I'm pulling well over 750/750 when plugged in.

You could always try the Asus RT AC-88U - https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RT-AC88U/

However, I am of the opinion that when you get to these speeds and you are regularly saturating the bandwidth, I would recommend going with something aimed towards commercial. Get a dedicated router and connect APs to a switch (preferably PoE for simplicity).

I would recommend something like this:

This setup would cost you a little over $400, but would be a great solution to this.

Wireless speeds are entirely dependent on signal path and antennas. If you have a metal/concrete building, forget it. If you don't have Line of Sight to the router, forget anything over ~450. If you're using a laptop generally forget it.
