Wifi slower than isp router

[ScottiiB 0]

So I just got my netduma r2 today and hooked it up got internet linked to it and ran a speed test for lan I am getting about 320-330 mbs download so what I normally would get from my isp router but with wifi I am getting like 240-250 and with my isp I would usually get the same as my lan. Is there a setting I'm missing that is causing this wifi drop? I am doing the speed test on my PC that's lan lined to the router vs a cell phone but that never was an issue before with my isp router.

To be fair that’s about average at the moment while they work at improving the WiFi.

the chances are your isp router might have been a wave 2 device so will achieve a better WiFi connection. As it’s a 866 connection rate on the 5Ghz you can normally say you will see a 40 to 60% throughput so 340mbps would be a nice achievable rate but a lot depends on the environment as the R2 is a wave 1 router so you don’t have beamforming if memory serves me right and will not compete with wave 2 routers.

You might need to use a WiFi  analyser to see if you can find the cleanest channel. Double check the 5Ghz is set to a bandwidth of 80Mhz and insure the router is away from EMI sources ie. not behind a tv or sat on electrical appliances.  
you might be able to nudge that up a little but don’t forget as you distance yourself from the router you will see performance drop.

Welcome to the forum!

Great answer from Newfie. We are indeed working on the performance of Wi-Fi so that should only improve, for the moment though your speeds are within what we would expect. If you experience any issues just let us know.
