I flashed my Netgear R6400 yesterday, set up my wireless channels and so on just as they were setup on the stock firmware, and my speeds were cut by about a third (180 down on the 5 GHz cut down to 60 GHz). Is there some sort of setting, different from the stock settings, that's limiting my speeds?
Thanks in advance for any help,
McLean
The "GHz" after the the 60 is a typo
For those of you who may also have this problem, here's where I found the solution:

Sorry for asking but what on that page was the solution for slow wifi speed on 5Ghz then?
No problem, I should've been more clear. What solved my problem was increasing the channel width.
Ah thanks. I had to do a 'erase nvram' and reboot. Then select country EUROPE to get maximal bandwidth for 2.4 and 5 Ghz.
None of these solutions worked for me. I am only getting half the bandwidth i was getting on stock.
try the new Tomato Firmware... this thing is awesome
I just checked the Tomato site for firmware for the R6400 and I don't see it listed. Ceelos, are you using an R6400?
If your channel width is maxed, maybe you could try adjusting your channel extensions.
