Netgear N300 C3000 Wifi issues
Hi there, I have a Netgear N300 model C3000 modem/router combo. Wired connection gets a speed test in the 80 mb/s download. When I do a wireless test 3 feet from it. It goes down to 13 mb/s. When I go upstairs. directly above the room where the router is. I get 0.13 mb/s. I really need some help, just want fast enough speed to be able to use my xbox upstairs. Thanks!

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
This modems wifi may not be suitable for gaming. I recommend wired connections for gaming. To get better wifi, you might look into bridging the modem and getting into a differnt router or turn OFF the wifi on the modem and install a Orbi wifi MESH system in AP mode for better wifi coverage and performace.
