Recently got an asus AC-2400, and it gives my pc 0.2-0.8mbps, but on my phone, it gets a max of 32mbps(which I think is max for a phone?{Samsung S3})

On a wired connection I usually get around 100-150mbps

Why is this happening?
I have updated drivers, had no problems before the new router.

Info:
AC-2400
Returned twice, third one, same exact problem.

Generic wifi card that was included with asus desktop(will pull out of mobo, and take photo if needed)

Xfinity>Cable>Modem>Router

I have both phone and pc on 2.4GHz band.

I changed channels around, but if the channel was the problem, why would my phone have fast speeds.

I really don't know what else to include, ask away and I shall help you help me :D

Try updating wifi drivers.

Otherwise I would look at upgrading the wifi card. The wificard that came with the computer is most likely a n, probably not even a dual band card anyways.

Well just because my card isn't dual band, doesn't mean I should get 0.3mbps...

There has to be a better answer.

I get that even a n150 card, hell even a wireless G card should get better then a fraction of 1mbps.

I only said about it not being dual band because you said that you had a wireless AC router. Using a n150 card for an AC router is a huge waste.

If wired works fine but wireless is crap, and other wireless devices work just fine then the card is likley the issue. This is why i suggested to first try drivers, otherwise try replaceing the card.

:(  nothing in the router settings I can change? QoS? Bandwidth? Maybe 2 routers running at once?

The old modem was a dual band too btw.

Internal wifi card or one of those usb sticks?

Have you made QoS settings in the past to that router?
Might even try reseting the router to factory.

Okay, i plugged a wire into it from my router and its still just as slow, but from the modem, blazing fast.

Looked it up, and its a WMM setting i need to turn off... but i cant find it in my Asus routers settings :(

yes, now i reran all the wires throughout my house and im connected directly to the modem, and still slow internet speed.
I replaced wifi card, and i even removed it(because now im wired)

im getting (130mbps Download) & (12mbps Upload) from a computer on a 6ft cat5e and (2mbps Download) & (12mbps Upload) from my computer on a 50ft cat6

occassionally ill get 120-130 on my computer, which never happened with the wifi box(wire/wireless, tried both on router), but now does with the wired, but as we speak i have 2mbps Download, and about 15min ago i had 130mbps download on my computer

Is there a setting i might have turned on/off in the process of tring to fix my first problem?

So wait, using the same ethernet cable you started with 130mbps and it is now 2mbps, or only after switching to the 50ft cable you droped to 2mbps.

with wifi i never got above 2mbps, but with the wire(regardless of what wire i use) i get .8-6mbps sometimes, and i get 130mbps other times.

i tested if it was just when i turned it on, but ive gotten mixed results when starting it up.
