Hello Everyone !

So I am having some issues with slow wifi speeds.

Here is my wifi speed when wireless : http://prntscr.com/4wc847
and this one is with wired : http://prntscr.com/4wc86i

So as you can see it cuts down more than half the speed.

I am using a linksys E1000 running DDWRT V24-sp2
I do have security on it. I am currently using channel 5 Channel width is auto. (I have played around with it doesnt do anything) Sensitvity Range : 2000

My wifi card is Killer-Wireless-N 1202
Please help !! thanks :)

You're in the US, so you should be using channels 1, 6, or 11. Using others makes others angry and wastes spectrum. (for those where channel 13 is allowed, use 1, 5, 9, or 13).

Try different channels - you may want to use InSSIDer or a similar tool. Use v2 or v3; they charge for v4.

Do the speeds improve during quiet times (mid-morning on a weekday comes to mind)?

Unfortunately, WiFi isn't a guaranteed service and the 2.4GHz spectrum is very congested in many urban areas. You may want to look in to getting a router that supports a 5GHz signal.
