R8000 Slow WiFi download Speeds

The router shows the latest firmware version 2.1.1.16. The speedtest from wired PC shows 250Mbps, which is what I have from my ISP. However, my phone right next to it only shows about 90-100 Mbps. The speed even with a satellite 2 rooms away is 25Mbps. What gives?What can I do to fix it?

 

Oh, and the wifi keeps dropping every so often for 2-3 minutes before coming back on its own. Very frustrating.

    Have you made sure mumimo and beamforming are enabled? also have you tried to adjust the wireless channels?
