Here's another "theory" you'll see a lot on here: NetGear firmware is hot garbage.
Don't count on any NetGear firmware update to solve any problems you are having; it will likely make it worse.
I had the same experience with my X10, the 5Ghz was not great but after switching to DD-WRT and applying the optimum configuration for wifi settings I found on their forums, it was like a whole new world.
