You do need a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. What brand/model modem do you have and

what exact router and firmware version-  (I forget, I know you posted it at some

point).

In general, and you might not have all of these settings:

Native with DHCP-PD (or it might be listed as v6 DHCP)

Connect to DNS Server automatically = Enable

Enable Router Advertisement = Enable

Never mind, restarting the modem fixed.

Reporting back in with SUCCESS using Keith Boring's suggestion.

Apple Airport AC base station: simply adding a specific SSID to the 5 GHz network and connecting to that SSID specifically by name instantly bumped my link speed from about 60Mbps to 600-700Mbps, in line with my other AC devices.

I didn't make any other changes to the SP3 or router, other than giving the 5 GHz network its own name, and connecting to it specifically.

I have not experienced any lost or limited connection problems since making this change. It basically just seems to be working the way I expected it to in the first place.

So, it seems like for whatever reason, when presented with a dual-band AC network, the driver prefers the 2.4 GHz band and gets lousy speed due to the crowding on that band..? Maybe?
