I have the 1GB service. When running a speed test using a direct ethernet connection, I get 932MBps download and 943MBps upload. When connected wirelessly, your speed will always be less. The speed will be directly dependent on the wireless router used.
My primary router is a Netgear Orbi, one of the best mesh routers available. When connected to it wirelessly, I get 797MBps download and 853MBps upload. If I use the Quantum 360 pods they give you, I only get 468MBps download and 474MBps upload.
If you want to use a router other than the one supplied by Quantum, you need to set VLAN tagging to 201, as all Quantum traffic goes across VLAN 201. The routers they give you are set to VLAN 201 in the firmware. I have my Orbi set to VLAN 201 and plugged directly into the incoming ethernet jack. (Note: Many lower cost routers do not support VLAN tagging.)
I use the 360 pods to then extend my network in my back lanai and tiki bar area, and for all my 2.4GHz devices.
