R7000P 2.4Ghz is slow

been noticing some extremely slow wifi speeds on 2.4Ghz with the R7000P. I haven't changed any settings in quite awhile. I have a 75/7 connection through AT&T uverse. I currently have the R70...

Hi bp787,

Good day!

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

We are sorry for not getting back to you immediately. Was the wireless speed okay before or was it working before? When did the issue start? Have you tried downgrading the firmware?

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,

2.4Ghz wireless speed dropped sometime over the last month. I'm not sure exactly when as I normally connect to 5Ghz. I have not tried downgrading, however I did do a significant FW upgrade after noticing the issue. The last time I ran a speed test on it, everything was ok.

Now, to be fair, I decided to remove the netgear from the network and just connect to the uverse router. It is having massive 2.4Ghz issues as well (worse even). I normally leave the uverse's wifi off completely.

My neighbors 2.4Ghz wifi through comast is fine. We're VERY close together, so i'd assume that if something in my house is impacting 2.4Ghz, that it would affect his as well... then again, maybe not.

it's very weird, though, that both routers are having 2.4Ghz issues.
