C7000v2 not reaching full download/upload speed
Recently upgraded my internet speed through my provider. I should be getting 300mbps down over wireless but only get it over Ethernet. I get around 150 via wireless. Any suggestions on how to speed...

a couple things.
1. wireless isn't as fast as wired.
2. 2.4ghz is a slow network. ensure your testing over 5ghz. its still not going to be as fast as wired but it'll be faster than 2.4ghz
3. what device are you testing on? a 1x1 client is going to have half the speed of a 2x2 client
4. how far from the router is the device you're testing on? and whats in between the 2?
