Spectrum upgraded my internet service from 60 mbps to 200 mbps.   I checked the speed with an ethernet cable and it was only 90 mbps while WIFI was only 50 mbps.  I reset wireless router back to fact...

    Basically your laptop in conjunction with an older N600 wifi devices is whats limiting your speed. You'd get faster speeds with a better laptop or with an upgraded modem/router. Or both.
