Model: Archer AX3000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.5

Coming from an older Linksys AC1900 to the AX3000. I duplicated settings that could be duplicated when I switched. The wifi performance of the AX3000 is simply horrible in comparison to the Linksys. I tried practically every  5ghz channel combination I could think of including all three transmit power levels. My wifi download / upload on laptop when I had the linksys was 600+ Mbps but using the same laptop I cannot get more than 200Mbps. It will initially spike up to 500Mbps in the first couple of seconds, but then drops and continues to drop where it settles in around 200. Had issues with the TPLink CPE710s performing poorly and replaced them with Ubiquiti. They delivered to spec right out of the box. It starting to look like Tplink specs are mostly just numbers on paper.  Would like to figure out why this AX3000 cannot deliver on the wifi side.

I'm having the same issue. 

 

I receive 800+mbs via ethernet but two feet away from the router, I get at most 160 via wifi 6

  @william212 I am migrating away from TP-Link. I found their numbers to be a bit bloated. After the excellent performance from the Ubiquiti Gigabeams, I went ahead and ordered their DreamMachine UDM. I will have it in a few days and hopefully performs as well as the CPEs.

I got my Unifi Dream Machine in. It costs more but does so much more and my wifi devices nearly doubled in up/down speed. The information this device gives you is outstanding as far as which devices and apps are using bandwidth. There are apps running that I was completely unaware of. I will eventually replace all of the TPLinks Omada hardware for Ubiquiti. So far every Unifi device I have gotten exceeds TPlink significantly. You definitely get what you pay for in this case.

Same issue here. With Spectrum modem the router says 540Mbps/24Mbps (d/up), but the best I can do with an iphone 12 Pro Max (Wifi-AX compatible) is 274Mbps/21Mbps. The poor download soeed doesn't seem signal related as I can get 2ft away from the router and it's no faster. 
 

i've manually selected channels and BW, versus auto, and nothing improves. Of course, the WiFi will be slower, but I was expecting an easy 350Mbps.
