Not getting right speeds :((

[mukey]

So just upgraded my virgin from 350 to 500. 

I'm getting 500 wired into the R2 but not on WiFi. 

My router is like 2 feet from my bed, there is only me connected to this network. 

I reset my Virgin hub and started from scratch, I've also just done a factory reset of the R2 but on WiFi I'm still getting 260 down which is what I was getting before I upgraded my speed on WiFi. But when I plug an ethernet to the R2 to my laptop, boom 500. 

Any help much appreciated must be something simple.

Sorry to say but it is unlikely you'll see those speeds through the WiFi but here are some things you can try that could boost it:

• Disable Mirror Mode, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds
• Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that
• Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results
• Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface
• Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proxity ~3 feet if possible
• Set the antennae to this position _ | | _
