Netgear N600 WNDR3700v5 WIFI speed

Question

My ISP provides 300 mbps.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When I connect a LAN from the computer to the router I get 300 mbps but when I use the WIFI I only get 150 mbps.&nbsp;&nbsp;
My wireless set up is 5Ghz, enable SSID, and WPA2-PSK with mode "up to 300 mbps", Channel is Auto'
&nbsp;
my firmware is uptodate.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;THanks for your help.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I just tried that.&nbsp; I'm actually the only one on my channel.&nbsp; My width is 40 MHZ.&nbsp; It says my signal is 99% but still my speedtest is only 180 mbps.&nbsp; Anything else you can think of other than LAN?
