XR 450 Wifi Speed slower than Wired
I have a XR450, and theoritcally a 5ghz should be able to go past 300MBS right? I'm standing right next my router and I am pretty sure I turned off all of those settings which might limit speed. I'm getting around 200 ish range right in front of my router but my Wired is just fine. Is this normal? My wired goes 300 consistantly... It's not defective is it?

- If there are wireless devices such as phones, headsets etc within close proximity of the router than can interfere with the signal so move any of these devices at least 3 feet away. Also use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and then change to that and redo the speed test.

It is the only one on its channel... and there are no other devices in a 3 feet proximity.
- No it doesn't have a wireless analyzer. Could you provide a screenshot of your Advanced WiFi Settings please? Also double check you've done everything in this guide: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000076586-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-maximum-bandwidth-speeds
