Why not? You'd need to be getting higher quality streams limited to Apple TV 4k devices on all 10 TVs streaming only AppleTV+ content to max out that 300Mbps service.

Netflix Dolby Vision and Amazon Prime HDR10+ will max out at 25Mbps. 10 TVx x 25Mbps = 250Mbps. You still got 50Mbps leftover for regular streaming or torrenting.

Random question....do the speedtests test the VPN location you are on? I ran the test and it shows the VPN IP. I should be on ATT fiber optics, so not sure the difference I would see going this Hyper GIG. I have my ethernet connected, which I'm not really sure its much better than going WI-FI sometimes.

Anywho....sounds fun to be a gigzillionaire.

ETA - To add #s as I'm not sure which is legit.

SpeedTest.com:

Ping = 48ms
Download = 447.85 Mbps
Upload = 218.57 Mbps

On ATT site (which says it uses SpeedTest) :

Ping = 47ms
Jitter = 200ms
Download = 203.8 Mbps
Upload = 117.5 Mbps

If the speedtest site is showing your VPN IP and not your home IP address, then it is testing the speed along the entire path SpeedTest -> VPN servers -> you. Whatever the weakest link is along that path will determine your speed test results.

I use a VPN that gives me my max 1 Gbps speed even when using it.

Around 900 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload.

There is only one VPN I found that will do this thankfully! :)

Is anyone else here using an ASUS AiMesh system with the AT&T gateway in passthrough mode? I have the ASUS system that can run WiFi 6 and I’m wondering if this is worth looking into.

I’m in htx. My speed tests show I’m getting close to gig speeds at the router. Device speed tests over WiFi are showing about 1/2 to 1/3 that speed, which seems pretty good still.

I can't address all of your post but my At&t BGW320 gateway can hit 700Mbps on a 2021 Samsung Galaxy.

Sorry. Maybe my techs were yours?! I just got mine installed with new wiring and new router.
From the router, hardwired, I’m getting 2562mbps down and like 2250mpbs up from the 2000 plan. It’s kinda silly.
I instantly punched a hole in my wall and started hard wiring shite. The new modem is at the far back of my house and my nest hello doorbell is at the front door and it’s getting close to 125mbps on the 2.5Ghz channel.

It’s fricking overkill but it’s kinda fun.

Oh man, sorry brah. Where are you at? If you’re in the NOLA area I have my tech’s card/info still. My 2 dudes were on it and were blown away at the speeds. My guys even were chilling with my dog while I ran Speedtests. Need more techs like them in general in life…

I have the Asus ZenWiFi AX (XT8) mesh system and AT&T 1Gb Fiber with the BGW210-700 in pass-through mode. (I disabled most of the functionality of the gateway. Turned off wifi, iptables, etc.) I use the mesh system for wifi and ethernet.

I use a pair of 2.5Gb MoCA adapters for the backhaul. My office PC is across the house, so I setup the backhaul router in my office to plug in directly to it. The primary router is upstairs with the gateway.

Gateway speed test: 971 MB/s down 890 up
Office PC (wired) speedtest.net: 862 MB/s down 864 up
Mobile phone speedtest.net: 575 MB/s
(connected on 5 GHz band)

Tested Wifi6 card on PC: 884 MB/s down 855 up

My experiences with Wifi6 is that the speeds are great. If you're using it on a PC/device to watch videos, share files, etc, then you'll be happy. If it's to do something that requires an "always on" connection, then it's not as good as wired even if the speed is good.

Thanks for this reply. I'll look more into the MoCA adapters for the backhaul as that may be a possibility for my setup. I have the primary upstairs near the gateway, which is in my office, and the node downstairs directly below in the den near the TV.

I have an apartment above the garage that I was using a slower, cheaper dual-band Asus as a node for to get Wifi out there. It was working fine for the most part. After the most recent firmware upgrade it lost connection to the system so I still need to go get it and pair it up again.

I've been quite happy with the setup so far, however I feel like I'm losing a bit more speed at the devices than I anticipated. The speed is still very good overall. I just want to try and maximize what I have for a while before dumping money into wiring everything in a few years.
