Need suggestions for mesh system

Just got 400 mbs and an XB6 gateway.Speeds drop off from 350-400 near the modem to 10-15 mbs at end of house. Need suggestions to at least get to 200 mbs. Network adapter on desktop says wi fi speed up to 54.5 mbs.Would that be my limit and I would have to hardwire ethernet?

I would recommend an ethernet connection for the desktop, most of the network adapters do not have a solid and consistent throughput. Being behind shielded electronics is also a big hurdle on reception. Is the network adapter UBB based or an internal card?

@XfinityThomasB​ Thank you. The local office upgraded me to an XB8 and that solved the issue.Also added a USB adapter and that really supercharged the connection as well. Thank for the help.

Update: network adapter went to 325 and download went to 175 but sppeeds are going up and down; is this just more people on same feed?
