Doing a factory reset on my router WNDR4300 with latest firmware solved the issue. Now I am able to get 89MBPS on 5g & 75MBPS on 2g. Thanks a lot.

I have exactly the same issue. Got a 100mbps speed connection and get that on any device if connected by LAN with the router . But on wifi I get only 50 mbps on the 2.4 ghz . On the 5 ghz I get slightly better speeds (60-70) but that in turns makes the wifi signals drop with the extenders I have (also netgear). So the technician dialed the 5ghz . Still not getting above 60mbps from the wifi.

pdrupareliya What's the model number of your NETGEAR device?
2.4GHz is really prone to interference and that might be the reason why you're getting that speed.
Wired can't be the same as the wireless speed. These 2 are totally different connections and there are factors that needs to be considered when it comes to wireless.
