WiFi6 slow speeds on Xbox One S
 

My Xbox One S Wifi download/upload speeds seem to be limited to ~20MB/s. These results are based on the Xbox test measurements.

I have a 1 GB plan and recently had Wifi6 installed with the following equipment (according to Telus My Connect):

Modem (Network Access Hub) - Technicolor NH20T
Boost Wi-Fi6 (Main) - Arcadyan Boost 2.1
Boost Wi-Fi6 - Arcadyan Boost 2.1
Boost Wi-Fi6 - Arcadyan Boost 2.1

Yes, that's right, I have 3 white cylinders installed in my home.

All of my devices are capable of getting Wifi speeds >100 MB/s except for the Xbox One S. As part of my tests I placed the Xbox One S adjacent (1 ft) to a Boost Wi-Fi6 cylinder. There was only a moderate inrease in WiFi speeds to ~24Mb/s. I then connected the Xbox One S with an Ethernet Cat5e cable and was able to get speeds >500 Mb/s.

I could not find any Qos settings to change on the NH20T or Arcadyan units. Why is my Xbox One S limited to these low Wifi speeds? Are there restrictions on game consoles or streaming devices?
