I just got home internet installed but it is running very slowly. I should be getting 30 MB but I'm getting around 7 MB right now with wifi . When it's connected by wire to the modem I am getting the full 30mb. Can someone share their Wi-Fi settings like bandwidth, Channel, etc.
The modem is in the next room so don't get why the signal is so poor.

    Which app do you use to measure the speed?

    Like @Julien said install and use the app Wifi Analyzer to help you find the best channel for your wifi setting. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en_CA
    But the wifi from the Fizz's modem is not that great in speed. If you want a consistent fast speed wifi, as fast as wired, maybe consider getting a Wifi Mesh Network system. Personally I'm using it and the wifi speed is great, as fast as wire connected. Here's some info, if interested.

    I'm using the TP-Link Deco M5 Wifi system, signal is strong and speed is consistent everywhere in the house, from basement to 2nd floor.
