Nighthawk slow wifi

[Bionix_01]

Any tips please! I have a nighthawk x4s r7800 router and am getting nowhere near my provider speeds over wifi. I have 300 dl and 30 up which i get reliably on my pc through the router but my wifi is 25-30 dl and 10 up. I have tried changing channels and resetting the router. I have seen my 300 and 30 speeds on wifi in the past and oddly enough i get it for an hour or so when i do a factory reset.

Are you using 5GHz wifi?

I have that router with no probems. It's probably something else.

Both. And both are slow

Do you update the firmware?

Try turning off the 2.4GHz wifi and connecting to the 5GHz one . Does your WiFi card support 5GHz ? If you're using a desktop , maybe try upgrading to a PCe wireless card with antennas , those helps alot especially the one with 4 antennas . If you're using a laptop , the Wireless card built in may not be very good , same goes for integrated wireless card on your Mobo .

My desktop gets the speed just fine as it is hardlined into the router. Its just the wifi that has a massive drop off on both channels about an hour or 2 after a reset.

You might want to try updating the driver , people are having issues with nighthawk in the pass because of the drivers not being up to date , check out this article Nighthawk WiFi Routers Latency Issue
