I had a T430 that died (very unusual for Lenovo T series), I now have
a T470 I bought used off eBay for rather less than I expected, lovely!

My WiFi connection reports that it is 300Mb/s but the real speed is
never anything like that.  Here are my results sending from T470
laptop (WiFi connection, reports as 300Mb/s) to desktop:-

bone-debian-9.4-console-armhf-2018-07-08-1gb.img                  100% 850MB 
16.2MB/s   00:52

So I get about half the 'expected' speed, also quite similar to your
speeds I think.
