Are you using Smart Connect? If so disable this and connect to the 5GHz network instead, do you get faster speeds this way?

I changed from smart and it seemed ok, it seems it not to be sending out a WiFi signal. Although the speed test through the app is good.

What do you mean by it's not sending out a signal?
