I have a WiFi connection which, in the settings, says:
Transmit link speed
866Mbps
Receive link speed
780Mbps
I've installed PowerFTP on my phone and transferred a large video file (about 40 min.) from my Android (Pixel 5a) phone to my Linux computer. My network is a 1Gbps all around (switch, NICs, WiFi router) except for the WiFi transmission itself (obviously).
The transfer rate shown by PowerFTP is around 5Mb/s (or ~40Mbps).
Why is that transfer rate so low? Is there something else limiting the speed along the way?
Update:
My Network looks more or less like this:

The LAN has a switch and that connection is local (as in 192.168.x.x).
There are other devices on the WiFi (3 phones, a laptop--which was off when I tested the above).
Of course, I can see some WiFi devices from my neighbors... so I understand there can be interference there.
