I have been getting download speeds of < 5mbps on my N66U. I upgraded to the latest Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.372.31 firmware, without any improvement.
Today I called TWC, and they had me run the speedtest first directly connected to the router (not on wifi) - the download speeds were actually worse! They then had me run the speedtest with the laptop directly connected to the cable modem. Lo and behold - my download speed jumped to 21.5 MBPS! I am on Turbo internet and paying for 20 MBPS download.
Any thoughts or suggestions? How can the download speed on 2.4 (or 5 GHZ) be better than connecting the laptop directly to the router? The iPad speed is also better - although I am not approaching even 10 MBPS no matter what I do. I have the 2.4 channel set to 20 Mhz and there is very little interference.
I would dearly love to get my wireless speeds to remotely approach 20 mbps!
