Slow MacBook Pro connection (50) vs. iPhone (650)

Good morning. Just connected a new RAX200 yesterday. Netgear modem and throughput into the house at 1.1GBS (tested a couple of days ago). My wireless speed on my iPhone is about 650MBS but when I run speed testing apps on my wirelessly connected MacBook I'm getting around 20MBS up and down.

 

How do I troubleshoot or fix this?

 

Thanks,

 

Kurt

    The RAX200 uses smart connect. have you checked to see if your devices are connecting to the 2.4ghz or the 5gh?

    2.4ghz is much slower and sensitive to interference.
