We moved to a new apartment where the WAN port to the furthest corner of the place so now in my bedroom I am unable to connect to WiFi.
I decided to connect a wired Access Point but my problem is that the WiFi in the bedroom should be 50 Mbps but it is only around 22Mbps ...when I plug a network cable into the AP speed is 50Mbps as expected so I am not sure what's the issue here.
First I tried Access Point : EDIMAX EW-7206PDg which only supports 1 cable to main router and then only WiFi but speed was the same. I figured it's because it has only G broadband so..
My second option was :ZyXel VMG1312-B30B which is giving me same speeds 50 on cable and 25 on WiFi.
Please help.
Thanks :)
To be fair, wireless is ALWAYS slower than wired. If you care about connection speed, quality, and reliability, don't use wireless. – InterLinked – 2017-01-24T11:49:10.107

You forgot to mention the Wi-Fi details of your wireless client device. It would also help to know what RSSI (in negative dBm) your client gets from the AP, and what the AP reports as its transmit rate to that client. – Spiff – 2017-01-24T20:40:54.910
if by client you mean the device, I'm testing on MacBook Pro, ThinkPad T450, iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Channel width is set to 20/40 on both main router and AP. Channel is set to 10 on main router and 13 on the AP, these are not used by other networks around me. RSSI, I'm not there right now but I was literally 10cm from the router. I can check that tomorrow if needed. Not sure what you mean "what AP reports" but if you clarify I can find out. A person suggested it might be a Half Duplex issue which means half speed and do I get 22mbps for download BUT 38mbps for upload which is more – wist – 2017-01-24T21:53:00.607
