n600 wireless dual band router slow speeds
I been having alot issues lately with the router with providing very slow speed.
I reset connections few times , talked with xfinity and everything look good on their part.
Wired I get 90mbps but wireless 5-10mbps max. Im in 2 story house 5 ppl alot devices but speed should not be this bad. any recomendation beside new router?
I already check some other topics but none solutions really did any good.
I even read somewhere that this router is not recommented for xfinity cable internet????????

Your router dates back to 2010. It has slow wifi technology.
If you use 5 GHz for wifi clients that might be better because it has a shorter range.
Also try different wifi bands. Look for one that other people are not using.
