please change 2.4G 289 Mbps
for 5GHz, you can 600 Mbps or even lower.

do you want to increase the power?

easy way to reduce from HT80 to H20 which will slightly boost up power at the expense of bandwidth.

  well that seemed to work, i can now get 252 mbps down, which is acceptable considering im using a beta wifi driver for my wifi card for win10, and had to tweak a couple thing on it to get that as well, im still hoping for a firmware update with better control of the radios though. this is the first non D2 momdem if logged into with no control over banfwidth output (20/40/80Mhz output), and being able to control the classes of wifi broadcasted by the wifi, i dont expect this right away, but im hopeful in future this may come. thanks for the help though guys.

    289, 600 and 1300 Mbps settings are actually HT20,H80 and HT80 respectively. We just named it so since most average non-technical users dont understand what HT20,40,80 means.
    
    thanks for trying current settings an I am glad it works.
