Hi Dexter,

Last night I did only a few tests.

I've changed the wifi channel to value 1, and the results seems to be better: donwload speed between 25 and 42 MB and upload speed between 20 and 30 MB.

I'll continue some days with this configuration.

1. Do all wireless devices that connect to the 2.4GHz experience the issue?

Thanks Dexter,

I respond you:

1: Yes, all devices experience the same issue with the 2.4GHz. I've been testing with a Huawei P8 Lite, Moto G First Generation, and iPhone 6

2: No, I have no try resetting the router. I'll try tonight

3: No, the wirless channel is in auto mode. I'll try change the channel tonight.
