wifi speed RAX75

   I just connected my new Router.  I have a 100 mbps internet srvice.  I am getting speeds in the 30mbps range when i check the Roku internet connection speeds in the settiings.  Is this normal? I live in a 2000 square foot home and was hoping to get better speeds. One roku has a line of site and the other 3 locations will have walls in the way. When I connected the router it loaded in a new firmware. 

  Thanks for any feedback.

    Roku has a very unreliable speed test setup. I'm on a gigabit connection and rarely see past 50mbps on any of my roku devices (even hardwired). 

    to test your speed, hardwire into the router and test the speeds using a pc/laptop. Also, try several different servers when speedtesting
