X10 AD7200 r9000 Fast Ethernet but extremely slow WiFi
Hello, I am having extremely slow WiFi speeds through my Netgear x10 ad7200 router. I have a netgear cm1200 modem and gigabit internet through Cox. Anything plugged into the router through Ethernet gets over 900mbps speeds. Anything on WiFi gets 5-10mbps. iPhones, Mac, pc, tv.... Sometimes I will get WiFi speeds of 300-500mbps as I should, but rarely. When I test the speeds through the netgear nighthawk app, it’s always over 900mbps. So the router is getting the right speeds, just not passing it through the WiFi. My router was bought in October 2017 and it worked fine before. I recently moved though. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have performed a factory reset multiple times. I also did the 30-30-30 reset. I feel like now when you factory reset it, it automatically upgrades you to the newest firmware and I can’t figure out a way to start with the original firmware that came with it. Cox says my router is probably going out because it’s 3 years old but I just can’t give up like that, being this is close to a $500 router. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I test it on a brand Mac book pro. We have brand new iPhone 12 max pros. We have a windows laptop. A new Sony 85” tv. It’s all the same. I try to downgrade the firmware but it’s not letting me. Every time I factory reset the router, it brings up the router login webpage and it makes me set it up as a brand new router. But it also installs the latest firmware. I can’t find a way around this. I think this is a new way that netgear is forcing the latest firmware to be installed.
and if its happening during setup, just unplug the modem from the router. Once its setup and auto-update disabled, then you can connect it back to the modem.
