Slow wireless speeds can be caused by interference. Wiring, WIFI channel setting, walls, router and satellites placed too close to other F devices, distance between satellites and routers all play a role in interference. I would first check you WIFI channel settings, as you mentioned earlier that your speeds fluctuate drasticly.
