R6250 Wireless Router cuts my hardwired internet connection speeds in half

[sbhall4060]

R6250 - I don't understand... I have verfied (by provider and various speed testes) 100 MBPS when I make a hard wired connection from my modem to my desktop. Then when I switch over to wireless I am at best only getting 50 MBPS. Actually all my wireless devices are running slow the desktop was just the easiest to connect to the modem for speed testing. Any ideas?

Hi @sbhall4060,

1. What is the firmware version of the router?

2. Have you tried resetting the  router?

3. Have you tried using a different cable to connect the router to the modem?

4. You can try changing the MTU values. The links below may help out.
