Not yet. Check the devices connecting to the home network first.

Of course - the router can impact how fast you can get. But also - the adapters can impact as well. So when you get a "not-as-fast-as-wired" wireless speed, it is possible that your devices are the culprit, not the router.

Also - because you are using 2.4GHz instead of 5Ghz, inference can also impact your speed and/or quality.
