Have you tried to change the wireless channel? The current channel could be a little congested causing the speed loss. hope to hear your feedback.

No...I tried to change channels on both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz and that had no effect.

Speed is variable during the day...from about 22Mbps to 28 mbps,,which is about max for

my ISP.

Beginning to think problem is more with Win 10 incompatiblity with Googe Chome. Though,

IE run slowly too.

C3700 wifi led light continues to flicker on / on as do the leds for 2.4 and 5 ghz signals.

I do not wish to reset netgear to factory settings and start over again unless there is some

reason to think that will fix the problem.

If you have upgraded to Win 10 have you made sure you have downloaded the latest drivers from your PC manufacture for your wireless?

Thanks for the good tip. &nbsp;No, I haven't checked for PC mfr drivers for Win 10!! &nbsp;I just tried to do so andfound that none have been released yet by Lenovo for this G580. &nbsp;Lots of anger on the Lenovosupport site about lack of new drivers for Win 10. &nbsp;Based on my past experience, it will be a long timebefore any are forthcoming. &nbsp;Lenovo is not the old IBM. &nbsp;Thanks for your answers.....you may have hit on the problem. &nbsp;Also, Google has some work to goregarding their software and Win 10.I will check now and then on Lenovo and plan to send them a memo about the lack of support on their end. &nbsp;Jim
