Went into "Media Prioritization", turned it ON, then went into Settings and unchecked WMM and the speeds came up to 25/5 as it should. It is important to note that even though Media Prioritization is OFF in its default state or when you configure router from scratch, it still somehow applies WMM unless you manually go in and turn it off.
I would expect a company such as Linksys Cisco to make routers that don't throttle down in this day and age but unfortunately, Linksys Cisco does not do things right!
It maybe a configuration as well of the media prioritization. WMM should be enabled and the ISP speeds should be input into the available fields per our ISP. WMM is enabled on my 1900AC router along with Media prioritization and I'm getting 50/3 here.
You can leave WMM enabled and disable Media Prioritization and test.
Some adapter may be not compatible with WMM as well.
FYI, Cisco no longer owns Linksys, Belkin does now.
