Fast LAN speed/slow WiFi speeds

I sent in a ticket to support on this but still haven't come up with a solution so I thought maybe some forum users might have an idea... I've got the WNDR4300 with the latest firmware. I use an A...

Was this ever fixed?  I'm experiencing the exact same problem and nothing Ive tried has fixed it yet.

    NoMoreN600 Do you have the same exact model number and version of the router?

    Can you post a screenshot of the speedtest?

    What are the wireless clients used?

    Which signal you're connecting to (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz)?

      I too have the same issue - wndr4300 + Aaris 6183 modem.  Thru Lan shows 90MBPS, but wireless is very fluctuating 25 - 30 MBPS. Sometimes it is going doing upto 10 MBPS.

      WNDR3700v2.  I didn't capture any screen shots of the speedtests.  The speeds resumed to normal the next day, but not based on any changes I made.

       

      Wireless clients included OSx on a mac laptop, W10 on a HP laptop, and iPhone 4s and 5C as well as an iPad.  Most of that was on the 2.4ghz band, not sure if any of them were on the 5ghz band.

        vnktsn Do you have the latest firmware installed on the router?

        After firmware upgrade, I suggest to do a factory reset and then reconfigure.

        Also, do you have the latest driver version installed on your wireless adapter?

        What's the model number of your wireless adapter?

        Which signal you're connecting to? Is it the 2.4Ghz or the 5Ghz?

         

        NoMoreN600 It might be possible that this is due to interference. Maybe there are other devices that interfere's with the wireless signal like microwave, baby monitors, cordless phones and the likes.

        I suggest that you try to relocate the router and check the environment. If you happen to have the Genie installed, verify for other clean channel for you to set on the router.

        Other routers such as the neighbors may cause interference as well. Have you tried connecting to the 5Ghz? What's the speed? See if you'll get a better connection on the 5Ghz.
