Incredibly slow wireless performance - hardwire is fine
Recently our wireless speeds are below 50 mbps (though sometimes up to 130-ish). We pay for up to 500 mbps. I thought the issue was with our ISP until today when I ran a speedtest on an ethernet conn...
Thanks, I am a couple feet from the router and connected on 5ghz. Testing on a macbook air and my Google Pixel phone gets between 20 and 50 mbps today (sometimes its better). However, when I run a speed test on my hardwired Xbox (the only device I own with an ethernet port) it says 500 mpbs.
have you tried changing wireless channels?
Or factory resetting and reinstalling?
Ah. I just tried a new channel on my 5gh network and now getting download speeds up to 240. Huge improvement. Is that the highest I should expect from this router? With ethernet speeds of ~500
240mbps is pretty good for over wireless on a C7000. Some might hit a little faster, some a little lower depending on environment/interference. A modem/router combo device isn't going to have the same performance as a router by itself.
