Getting 1/4 of Gigabit Speeds

I have a modest IT background and recently installed my home with a Velop router system. I have gigabit service and have the Arris NVG599 gateway. I have conducted speed tests on my Velop system which measures the raw speed from the gateway (606 Mbps at best; <550 at worst) and with the original router that came when we got U-Verse (same speed). The best signal I have ever gotten wirelessly on the Velop is 340 Mbps when my AC device is literally inches from the actual router. How can I (a) get as close to gigabit as possible wired and (b) provision my router to broadcast as close to ~80% of that signal as possible? 

 

Also, I do not have any other devices hardwired into the gateway and the wireless speed will often drop its max to sub 200 Mbps after a few minutes.

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. I have already restarted the gateway, put the gateway in bridge mode (made no difference), and factory reset the gateway.

Hi,

 

Can you tell us what speeds you receive on the AT&T router with the wireless disabled and only 1 wired device directly connected ( please make sure your router is disconnected as well as any other device to the AT&T router).
