Issues with the 2.4 GHZ side of my Netgear WNDR-3400V2
There is an issue as of late when I had the oldest firmware I had 150 MBPS connection when I upgraded to the previously latest firmware it dropped down to 72MBps and now with the current firmware it will not give me more than 72 on one card and the laptop I am using it is a strange speed of 58.2 and does not go above that. When I connect to 5 GHz it gives me more speed. And the problem is I need the full speed in order to use my NAS drive effectivly. I suppose I just better connect an ethernet cable in when I want to use the NAS to get the full speed otherwise I am limited to 58.5-65 Mbps around 6-8MB/s* I am fed up no matter what channle I choose, I cannot get the speed back. This is not a N600 router because of this issue. My Belkin N150 gives me full speed so it is not RF interferance. Anyone have any idea? Or would me installing the OPEN-WRT help me get my speed. This router has 8MB Rom, 64MB Ram and a 500+MHz processor.
My LG2 802.11/abgn connects at 108 MBps on the 5Ghz band, my Kindle Fire HD 2013 (On 5Ghz band) connects at 108 MBps, my Nokia Lumia 1020 connects at 72 MBPS, my desktop connects at 72MBps (2.4 GHz band), My HDTVs are uncertian as I do not know on which band they connect,
Any idea on what to do to take advantage of the speed this device CLAIMS to do? I need to know if I could go back to an older firmware, or find a WRT system that allows me to agressively set up the 40 MHz. I am saddened that I have to do these things.. Let me know
*100 MB/s is 12.5MBps transfer rate in windows dialog
I have and I determined it is the card. Not the netgear. I get 300 MBP/s on 5 GHZ and 144 on 2.4 I cannot get 40 MHZ to work but that would be unneighbrorly of me to use so much bandwidth. And since 5 GHZ is basically empty around here I will use it.

you can always downgrade.
try to reset and reconfigure first before switching to an openWRT fw.
I did do a factory reset and that did no good. I just got to buy some dual band USB D-link USB wifi adapters for my Stream x360 and Dell Optiplex 745 Pentium D.System. My HP Proboox 6560B has a ABGN in it so its fine. My cell phone, Fire HD (2013), Nexus 2013, LG2 and may be my Lumia 1020 all have abgn. they do 108-150 I would like it if they did 300, maybe my probook will(havent gotten it yet..) Only reason I need the full speed is the NAS feature. I will not do wrt just yet....... I need to try to get all my devices on 5GHz. I see that 2.4 is congested around here. I gotta buy 2 USB cards.

what's your current mode?
is it 300Mbps?
you will never get a full speed out of it, it'll always be less but not so much.
try to change channel too and see if it will help.
getting slow wireless speed can be due to interference or other factors such as the speed capability of the wireless cards.
make sure that you avoid interference and that the wireless devices can handle the same speed.
