R7000 Wifi issues

My R7000 wifi was giving me 50+ Mb/second. When I upgraded my service from my isp to 100 from 50 my wifi went down to ~38. Tried to reset. Played with channels. No resolution.

    Just had a brain storm and turned off the modem's wifi. It was interfering with the R-7000 right next to it. Thank you for your guidance.

    Wired is about 98 wifi around 30. I rebooted in order to try to see if that would work. 

    The provider changed my modem but the wired rate is up there.

      Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band has same slow speed?  Are you using WPA2-AES protocol? WMM enabled?   How far is the device from

      router?

        2.4 slightly slower. 

        Using WPA2-PSK

        dont know what WMM is.

        using a five foot cable very close.
