R6230 Slow Wireless Speed (Download at half speed and Upload at a third the speed)

In terms of the scanning, you can use something line inssider or acrylic wifi scanner. I use them frequently

You can try downgrading the firmware a version or 2.
If you do so, do it over a hardwired connection, factory reset afterwards, and do a clean install (not from a backup).
Its worth a shot but again, I wouldn't have much expectations from a AC1200 router.
