I just bought a router ASUS RT-N10E and I'm having big problems with it. What I mean is that I can't reach the maximum speed that I'm supposed to...I have an internet bandwidth of 100mb/s and when I connect my pc directly to the cabble of the internet I get that speed...I mean I can download internationally with 11mb/s down speed and upload with 1mb/s+ , when I set up my router all I can get is 1.6-1.7 mb/s. Can something be done about this? Is there any solution to fix it? I have a lot of options in the router's setup page but I'm kinda new with this and I'm lost...I don't know how to make it work at the maximum speed.

Are you comparing connecting a cable directly to the modem and a cable directly to your router or are you testing wireless. The image you link is related to wireless settings.

You can't even think to compare speeds on wireless to wired. First thing to do is test wired in both conditions.

When you test wireless you can't assume it is the router unless you can test your PC to another router and it work fine but only works poorly with that router. Many times when you use wireless it is neither the PC or your Router it is where you live. The key issue with wireless is interference from other device...like neighbors using wireless.

You can get better speeds but finding the problem tends to be complex. It could be anything from the router to a driver in your PC.

With it as low as it is you need to first start with what kind of adapters you have in your PC. If they are the old 802.11b or even 802.11g your speeds tend to be limited. It is not a simple process you need to find some way to determine if you need to look at router settings or the PC settings. You need to find a way to test using other equipment to narrow the search otherwise you will be randomly trying stuff forever.
