I was having the same problems. Is that a modem router combo? If so, ditch it. I bought a Motorola surfboard SB6141 and a tp-link AC1750. I get much closer to my advertised speeds. You'll never get the full speed over WiFi. Also, make sure your router is centralized and not on the ground, near other electronics, or have to penetrate many walls.
Also, download the app called "wifi analyzer" to see which channels are being used by other routers in your area. Take yours off of auto and select the channel with the least traffic, especially if you are in an apartment with a lot of signals. The router I have has the 5 ghz band that will also get you out of all the noise as most people are on the 2.4 ghz band.

Yea it's a all in one combo. I have it sitting on top my rack in a closet under the stairs dedicated to my equipment. It's not the best location but since my luxul router doesn't use its own antenna I'll be able to put a unifi out in the open more.
I know I won't get my 150 over wifi ever but just now I'm get 6-7 out of 150 and I'm 20' from the thing with the closet door open and nothing but air between us
Is that the app that's just for droids? I'd rather use 5 because we all have iPhone iPads and macs that have 5hz but the range is worse on that and it already sucks on 2.4. I'll get it tho
