C7000v2 Very Slow Wifi

Question

I've read a ton of threads on this issue but not many with a solution.

My internet plan is for 300mbps. I can achieve 290-315mbps with a wired connection.

However, the fasted speed I've seen over wifi is 50-60mbps with the 5GHz connection and only 2mbps on 2.4GHZ. This is common across my iPhone 13 Pro and a Dell Precision 5770 laptop. I have no issues getting 400+mbps when I am on wifi at work so I don't think it's an issue with the devices I am using.

I've tried different channels with negligible improvements. Are there other settings I should be looking into to improve the speed?

The C7000 should be able to achieve faster speeds. I've used one and it was fine.&nbsp;
Try a factory reset. During the install, just install with the defaults and test the speeds.&nbsp;
Leave any qos, access control, traffic monitoring, or parental controls disabled.&nbsp;

I did a reset. Nothing changed.

You made sure not to reinstall with a backup?&nbsp;
Avoid backup when testing this.&nbsp;
Do you have any other devices you could test with?&nbsp;
How are you testing? What app? Browser based?&nbsp;

I have tried resetting the router via the rest button on the back and also via the "factory reset" option in the settings. I'm not even sure how to install using a backup so I don't think that's causing anything. Also, the only setting I've ever changed is the channel. Neither resets have made a difference.&nbsp;I'm using the Ookla speedtest. I have an old laptop I've tried this on as well with no differences.
