N600 C3700 Slow Wifi

Hello PaulaJayoh
Have you tested the wifi speed on more than 1 device? also do you have a old wifi device that only uses 802.11B? really old devices if connected can slow the whole network down.

I also have a N600 C3700 Cable Modem / Wireless Router. Connected via RJ45 cable - superfast. WiFi - completely different story. I downloaded Acrylic WiFi Home and it registers a WiFi strength of -60 (weak) and I am in the same room. Guest level is -67 (slightly better, but still poor). The 5G level is -72. Again, I am less than 8 foot from the wireless router. I am puzzled as my Printer is showing -54 (good). It doesn't take far for the WiFi signal to be come unusable.
It is pretty annoying that I bought this Cable Modem/Wireless Router less than 2 years ago and Netgear wants me to pay $49.95 just to talk to someone to determine if the unit has gone bad. I am extremely disappointed by the poor WiFi signal (and I have tried almost every differnt channel with no increase in signal strength. Is there anything I can do besides buying a new one (and it won't be a Netgear if that is the case - it would have been much cheaper to rent one from Comcast). Any help?
