Netgear a7000 extremely slow

Hi,

Recently I purchased the Netgear a7000 since I had to switch from ethernet to wireless and so far I am not pleased with the results.

 

I've noticed mutliple instances of slow downs, latency issues in games, etc. My internet speed test is inconsistent, occasionally it cracks 20 mbps, sometimes 5 mbps.

 

All the while my laptop, which i have in the same location for testing purposes, gets a solid 30 mbps.

 

I've tried moving it, adjusting where it's plugged in, and no joy. Any help would be appreciated.

Wifi rarely comes near wired on speeds.

Hard to tell from the limited information available.

 

What does the wifi come from?

 

2.4 GHz or 5 GHz?

 

Tried different wifi channels?

 

There is support for the A7000, including a manual, somewhere at the end of this link:
