Please check the firmware for D6100, as all versions since .52 till .63 (latest) dramatically slows down the speed on 5GHz wifi.

Versions till .46 (which is hard to find on your server, as normally are hidden) provide full speed.

I am experienced user, familar with Netgear products, WNR612v2 (non-Genie), WNR3500L v2, WNDR4300, R7000, R8500, D6100

I also use Openwrt, Tomato and DD-WRT.
