Real-World Router Performance
Box specs lie. "AX11000" doesn't mean you get 11 Gbps. To see reality, you need a local network speed test.
The Test Setup
Connect one PC via Ethernet (Server) and one via WiFi (Client). Transfer a large 5GB file. If you are getting 100 MB/s (Megabytes), that's roughly 800 Mbps (Megabits). If you are getting 20 MB/s, your router's wireless backhaul is struggling.
