1. Don't use channel 100. It's a DFS frequency - newer weather radars at airports are extremely sensitive to DFS frequencies. WiFi devices which use DFS frequencies are supposed to automatically change to a different channel if they detect weather radar being used. Use channels 36-48 or 149-165 instead. (Channels 49-148 are DFS.)
2. If you have a Nighthawk router, check the traffic page to see if a device on your network is sucking up all your bandwidth. Maybe someone has a filesharing app running.
3. Try this site instead. It tests your speed to all the major backbone providers. Your speed may be fast to some backbones, slow to others.

4. That's really odd that you're getting good speeds from fast.com but not Netflix. fast.com is Netflix. They deliberately host it on the same servers that stream their video.
5. Are the speeds better if you plug your computer directly into your modem with an Ethernet cable?
I did one and two it doesnt appear to have anything hogging band width file sharing or otherwise. I have it set on channel 44 now too.
3. I ended up getting low readings on most of them.

this is the link it gave me
5. I dont have any ethernet cables to test it right now.
Thanks for the speedy response. I would have responded sooner but I needed to finish a pretty hefty assignment.
Any advice on what I can do to fix this.
