Replacement iphone 6 stops at 30mb down on speed test, when old iphone 6 went to 70 mpb down.
I just had my current iphone 6 replaced with a new one, and on 5ghz max download is 30mb, when my last phone was like 70mb. Any ideas? I do the speeds tests for fun, and it's not like 30mb down on the iphone 6 is any slower than if it was 70mb, but it's bothering me. I didn't change anything with the router, but did see this post here where the guy says it's the phone?

Ok, I don't know why it was set at 54mbps, haven't touched these router settings in a year. I changed it to "up to 300mbps" and now my speedtest shows 70mb down on the new iphone 6 I just got. Strange, in may the previous phone always gave 70. Now it's fixed. Hmm, maybe that setting changed by itself someone. I know technology can be strange. THANKS!
