Just replaced my fiber optic cable because it was damaged and gave crap speeds. Now speeds are my contracted 350 mb/s symetric, but only in the exact room the router is in.

I live in a 500 sqft 2 bedroom, with masonry walls, and in my room, which is one wall away from the modem, I am lucky to get 100 mb on 5ghz and 70 on 2.4.

My router is a 6 year old wifi 5 device. The ISP woman told me 6 years is basically brand new (it is not). I asked a more knowledgeable rep and he told me that I do get a wifi 6e or even 7 upgrade for free. Will it actually help?

I have just repasted my 2023 7940HS, but I only get 8000 multi core and 2000 single core on geekbench 6, when others on the same device get into the 12000s. Updated drivers and everything, windows power plan, ghelper, everything.
