N450 CG3000Dv2 - Wifi dramatically slower than Ethernet
I have TWC internet service with a data rate of 100 Mbps. Consistently my ethernet speeds are 100Mbps or faster. However, my wifi averages 20 Mbps.
What configurations need to change, or what needs to get reset to increase my wifi speeds?
Here are my current wifi settings:
- Channel: 4 - (4 has the lowest interference in my apartment building)
- 802.11 mode: up to 450 Mbps
- Security: WPA2-PSK[AES]
- SSID is being broadcasted
- Fragmentation threshold: 2346
- CTS/RTS Threshold: 2347
- Preamble Mode: Long

- 1 - How are you measuring the speeds? 2 - What are the actual WiFi connection speeds? You say channel 4 has the lowest interference in your building - how are you measuring the interference?
