Two things, on which band? Are you using -ac mode WiFi card? Always WiFi speed is less than that of wired connection&nbsp; but your case is too much different. Did you set up the wireless configuration properly?

Usually having different SSID between 2.4GHz and 5GHz band is good idea.&nbsp;

so whats your advice? what you think i can do to get at least 200mbs on wifi ??&nbsp;

I'd use 5GHz band first of all if possible re: range. And better have -ac mode capable WiFi card in your laptop or PC.Then configure 5GHz wireless band on the router,&nbsp; assuming WMM is already enabled; select higher channel like 149 or 153,select WPA2-AES security protocol, select bandwidth&nbsp; to 40MHz, select speed to max value like upto xxxx. And see what happens..
