Rules:
All you need is a decent dock and a Wi-Fi repeater with data a cable port.
Ofk, I'm on a family shared line and quite afar from the modem, so the results may definitely be better.
I'm confused. Is there a known issue with the SDs WiFi? I just decided to test by downloading Soma and this is what I'm seeing. 
Yea im routinely in the 200’s
Right? I'm confused by this also... I can play multilayer flawlessly while downloading and connecting to my server via remote desktop with 0 hiccups
Ofk my connection is on the low side. I have a 6yr old crappy modem positioned to the other side of the house, there are definitely better way to improve my signal, but (dock aside) I already have everything laying around, so, good enough 🤷♂️.
That's still not nearly as good as you should be getting. My deck gets around 480+ Mb/s downloads over WiFi if I have a good wifi connection.
A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That's actually what I'm using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).
Wired is always better than wireless. You'll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.
Don't spend all your wifi at once
If you use Asus routers, a lot of them have a mesh mode. I bought a couple cheap Asus routers and added them to my system as a mesh and now i have great coverage.
I find it difficult to watch things on plex when I'm 20ft from the wifi, buffer buffer... 😕
To add to what candyman337 said: if it is the transcoding maxing out your CPU, you could try GPU transcoding which requires a Plex Pass or you could use Jellyfin media server which offers free hardware accelerated transcoding even for Intel iGPUs.
