[R7000][Q]Wifi Performance Slow?

[Hawk]

Also to test out true potential of wireless you may need to go Netgear original firmware, In this case may I suggest you request you older brother and see if he can help you out. Normally firmware update go without problem, but I don't want to brick your router by any means.

Your brother might need to look into it and see why it's not flashing.

That's EXACTLY the same link I put on my first post. I was asking before if the OFW still works, since the file and video are old: little more than 2 years old...

I am idiot, video you posted in beginning just follow that. I guess this is expected at 4:20 am in the morning. I am really sorry for all the mess.

Alright, I'm back to Netgear Genie! Unfortunately, no difference in speed... :-/

What I payed for: 200 down, 50 up.

5Ghz: 10 down, 23 up (bad!)
2.4ghz: 50 down, 30 up (good!)
Direct: 230 down, 20 up (best!)

So does that mean there's interference?

5GHz definitely look bad, I would have expected to perform better. Just a quick check you did reset router as told in instructions?
Also did you try different channels and see if it improves speed and if possible with different device.
