N300 Wireless Router slow speed

Hi, My netgear wifi cable modem router N300 is giving good speed upto 50 mbps when laptop is connected via ethernet cable.

But from last two days, through wifi the speed is only 5 mbps and less. 

Is there any problem in netgear device ? please suggest solution to get 50 mbps speed through wifi.

    Try a different wifi channel. Maybe there is interference nearby.

     

    And check the wifi clients. maybe the problem is there rather than in the N300. (By the way, N300 is not a Netgear mode, just a generic wifi label that goes with dozens of different devices.)
