Router speeds OUT of our router
We have Spectrum service. A few months ago the told us we now have 300mbps service... They sent us a new modem. Ok, we were still getting, through my phone, 115mbps. Gen 7 Fire tablet is about 80mbps....

As long as your Spectrum modem was placed in bridge mode by Spectrum, then the router should be working well, and you likely won't get 300 mbps, one never gets what they advertise, but you should be close.
I get what Comcast advertises and beyond into our stick house. My plan is for 65mbps, but right at our smatphones, an iPad, and a laptop I measure 85-90mbps coming wirelessly from our router.
However, I did have to buy a fairly expensive new router and replace it's four antennas with optional high gain antennas in order to get these speeds in my house and also nearly as fast to a trailer 100 feet from the router.
My router does beam forming and it has two selectable bands. I put the trailer on the longer range band and our house on the shorter range band. 85-90mbps is fast enough for two TVs (one of them is a 4K TV), and all other devices to never experience any buffering with all running at once.
I can't imagine any non-commercial use needing faster speeds than what we have measured right at our clients. We're even getting these faster speeds than our plan right now - with all the probable heavier use during the day from Comcast customers staying put in their homes.
