So you have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber and need a router READ THIS FIRST

It's such a frequently asked question over the last few years that we really need a post we can point people to. So your cable company rolled out 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speeds, or you have 1Gbps symmetric fiber (GPON/EPON) from ATT or Centurylink or Orange or whoever. You realize your old all in one router from 2009 is not up to the task of handling this, but hey by now stuff should be cheap and available that will handle your new fiber connection right? So you want advice about a router for…

While I think that ~200Mbps is a bit low for WiFi on that device, I believe the AX53U is MIPS based and hence in no way suitable for saturating a 500 Mbps link. (No need to change the router, if you can accept a lower download rate, or you could switch to the cheaper 250/50 tarif once your current contract is over).

Signal quality and client configuration and location also greatly matter. You can expect around 500 Mbps with a regular 802.11ax client (2T2R), I'm hitting around 600 Mbps but that's close to the access point.

Measured throughput of reported link rate? IIRC on WiFi achievable throughput often is in the range of 2/3 of reported link speed...
