Netgear WND4300 - Slow wifi speeds

I have a NetGear WND4300 router and have been using it for past 6 months. Worked fine until past few days. I noticed considerable slowing of my wifi speeds in past couple of weeks. When I connected computer straight to the modem, I get about 60-70 Mbps download speeds. But when I connected through my router via wifi I barely get 15 Mbps.

I reset the router, upgraded the firmware, changed channels but there is no improvement. When I called tech support they said that the "tech support warranty" expires within 90 days of purchase but hardware warranty is for 1 year. So in order for them to determine if its a settings issue or a hardware issue, they require me to pay $70 to extend the tech support warranty. Can I troubleshoot the router myself? If yes, how do I do that?

Are my settings wrong or is it time for a new router?

Thank you.
