vnktsn Do you have the latest firmware installed on the router?
After firmware upgrade, I suggest to do a factory reset and then reconfigure.
Also, do you have the latest driver version installed on your wireless adapter?
What's the model number of your wireless adapter?
Which signal you're connecting to? Is it the 2.4Ghz or the 5Ghz?
NoMoreN600 It might be possible that this is due to interference. Maybe there are other devices that interfere's with the wireless signal like microwave, baby monitors, cordless phones and the likes.
I suggest that you try to relocate the router and check the environment. If you happen to have the Genie installed, verify for other clean channel for you to set on the router.
Other routers such as the neighbors may cause interference as well. Have you tried connecting to the 5Ghz? What's the speed? See if you'll get a better connection on the 5Ghz.

Glad that worked out and you're finally getting WiFI speed as close to your LAN by going to 5GHz. However, can you please eloberate a little more on what changes you made and where to get the faster speed other than just resetting the router and updating to the latest firmware?
