ARC-XCI55AX not accessing high band 5g UW speeds
Post Body

Hi,

I'm new to 5G home internet with their premium plan. Upon sign up some fishy stuff happened, it advertised 1000mbps speeds for my location ( non rural suburb of a major city), but during the sign up process it dropped me down to a max of 300mbps. They assured me if I had access to higher bands it'd go above the 300. They sent out a ARC-XCI55AX which is getting around 300mbps pretty consistently. I started getting suspicious when I started getting speed test results right at exactly 300mbps multiple times. Sometimes it goes over by a few mbps, but never goes way above 300mbps. I am in an area that I believe has strong high band 5GUW. I get it on my phone in my home and get 650mbps when not on wifi. Verizon says they aren't capping my speeds but I have strong doubts about that. They decided to send out an E3200 wifi extender claiming that might help me access the high band signal to boost my speed but I don't think that will work either. I think it's a setting or speed tier plan on my account that is blocking me from accessing the high band signal. Any idea what might be going on, is there a setting within the ARC gateway that would only allow it to pull from the high band signals?
