the wifi connection for my macbook pro (2016) is too slow, slower than my iphone 6

Hi,

I replaced airport express with nighthawk x8. The wifi speed of my macbook pro dropped off significantly. The innate download speed from modem is around 100mbps, now I am getting less than 10mbps with my laptop vs My iphone 6 is getting 50mbps download speed.

It appears that netgear is not most compatible with apple products. If someone had experienced the same issues before, I will appreciate any tips.

Thanks

My issue was actually all my apple products (iphone and macbook pro) were slow. I finally contacted Netgear support and the staff was great help.

I am posting the method here to help others who encountered the same issue.

I changed the numbers of channels to 48 for 5GHz-1 and 157 for 5GHz-2 and also changed MTU size to 1492.

everyhing is working as it should now. cannot be happier.

I acknowledge Kyna L. who provided tremendous help to resolve this issue.

Thank you.
