RAX45 Slow Speeds

I just upgraded my comcast connection from 200mbps -> 400mbps. Since then, I am able to get 450+ mbps straight to my computer bypassing the router. When the router is connected (even with firmware updated, AND factory reset), I can only get around 70-80mbps to the computer via wifi. What gives? I was getting 170mbps yesterday before the Comcast upgrade. They see no issues on their side (and I don't either...).

  • Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

    2.4ghz is much slower and sensitive to interference
