When you say greater speed are you talking about WiFi 2GHz or 5GHz? Have you tried changing channels?
If 2GHz do you have an old WiFi adapter that would limit you to 50Mbps? Maybe you need a new adapter.

5g AC requires a 5g AC capable client to see those higher speeds. It takes both a AC router and a AC client.
