Need some advice with strange router behaviour

[MadAxe]

c6 selling for 1699 on fk currently

Damn! Missed this.
Needed a router to cover a large area and the range of v3 versions of both C6 and A6 suck. Would need to buy Mercusys AC1900 MR50G now, which is now going for 3300.
Would have bought 2 C6. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wait for some time, price will drop to ₹2800-2900. Happened with me too..

I was thinking of upgrading to 200mbps plan(currently on 100 mbps) but someone told me that C6 does not support those speeds. Can anyone give feedback if this is true? My Nokia router is showing speeds upto 400mbps(may be Airtel guys working on something), but when I switch to C6, speeds caps out at 160mbps.
I have connected Nokia and C6 using wireless bridge mode, if it helps.
This is so stupid if C6 doesn't support 200mbps speeds.

I easily do 300mbps on C6 at close range.

@Sushubh does using bridge mode using Lan cable or bridge mode wirelessly has any significant impact on speeds? I am assuming you have C6 with wired bridge mode. I have connected wirelessly so I should see some drop n speeds.

c6 is access point here. edgerouter is the primary router. i easily get 300mbps on the third router in the series. that goes from the basement of the house to the drawing room and then to my room at the back of the house.

If you have connected it via wds mode then it will give low speeds. Try connecting both through lan cable if possible

Not possible else I would have done it in the first place.
Nevertheless, 100 Mbps should suffice for the hall and bedroom. My room has Nokia 2425G so I should get close to 200mbps speeds.
