Hi and thanks for the reply

 

I should have specified that all my wireless devices, of various types, are experiencing the 20mbps bandwidth. So it seems that the router is reducing the wifi speed available for some reason.

 

I would expect wifi to be slower than a direct ethernet connection, but 80% slower seems excessive.

The modem and wifi on this modem are a bit older. You may want to consider getting into a new gateway modem or a modem only and then attach on external wifi router of your choice for better wifi performance.
