I've recently upgraded my CenturyLink internet to their 40DL/5UL service. Using a ZyXEL C1100Z modem. I have no problems with hardwired DL speeds and when I log into this modem it reports a connection status of 50.111/5.120 Mbps. Wireless, however, is, at best about 1/3 of what it should be. Wireless Upload speed is fine on all devices. I've updated all software, firmware, bios etc...I'm using an old Dell Inspiron 1440 Laptop running Vista (cringe) which is only able to achieve dl speeds of approx 8-12 mbps. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge cell which is testing at around 10-13 Mbps and I have a 2 year old Apple IPad Air with wireless dl speeds about the same..10-13 Mbps. Is this typical? I feel like there may be a simple solution to these poor speeds but am not knowledgeable enough to know it. I've rebooted, reset, unplugged reconfigured and still, no change.
Would love some suggestions from you folks as I am obviously out of my league here.
Thanks,
Scott
