Wi-Fi by current definition cuts your speeds in half. It uses radios to communicate back and forth in half duplex mode (meaning it can transmit or recieve, but not both at the same time). Wired Cat 5 and 6 can operate in full duplex (talk and recive at the same time). I've read that they are devolping radio antennas for Wi-Fi that can do full duplex, but who knows how long that will take to come to market. To add an access point means cutting your speeds in half again.
All true, but in my case, even when using the AT&T equipment as just a modem & a Netgear Nighthawk as the router, I'm only getting 1/2 speed even when my laptop is hardwired with CAT6 directly to the router.

I haven't had any problems with my router that I got with ATT, in fact it's been pretty solid. It doesn't have the range that my old router had but I get signal inside and outside the house and I've had about 6 devices connected wirelessly and didn't notice any drop off in performance.
