R7900 - Download speeds dropped wirelessly HOWEVER works fine when wired

Hello

 

 Windows 10, 64 bit

 

After upgrading to the latest firmware 1.0.3.8 using wired computer, my wireless speeds have dropped to less than half.  I get just over 200Mbps down when connecting wired but only about 60Mbps when connecting wirelessly.  I have tried the following:

1. Smart Connect swithced off 

2. Changing channels for 5G

3. Downgrading the firmware to 1.0.2.16, 1.0.2.10.

4. No QOS, No TM,

5. uPnP is on - if switch it off, wireless does NOT connect to internet

 

Would appreciate some help as to how to get 200Mbps+ speeds on wireless also.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Darren M.  I am now getting around 190Mbps+, I did not change anything.  Let's close this for now.  Will open new one if required.

Do you have any older devices connected to the wireless? have you tried to just have one newer device connected and test the speed?
