Make sure your password algorythims are set to WPA2-TKIP AES on both bands and when you do the speed test try it real close to the router.

received this message following your instruction
WPA-PSK(TKIP) operates at up to 54Mbps (legacy G) mode not N mode. NETGEAR recommends
that you use WPA2-PSK(AES) to get full N rate support.also you said to test near router but that doesn't help as I want FAST WIFI speeds throughout the house.
- wcalifasOct 05, 2020ProdigyWpa2-psk (aes) yes that's what you should use. No router will give you those speeds from far away unless you're hard wired to it.
