I've been getting really crappy wireless signal for a while now. I use both the 2.4 and 5 signals and can't connect using the 2.4 in my living room, router less than 50' away in bedroom. Wired speeds are still good at 50-58down/10-11.5up.

If you still have xbox 360 i should be on in a little bit.

What modes are you using on the 857? Single mode N?

Is HT20/40Mhz Co-existence enabled?

• Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer to find out. How many?

What FW version is currently loaded?

Is this a wired or wireless test result? Meaning ciient PC is connected how to the router? Wired or wireless?
If wireless, results may not be accurate. Wired testing is preferred for doing any speed testing.

wireless. If I hard wire the test is normal 50/10.

Ok, at least the wired is good. Wireless, should be close however anything could effect good results over wireless. I don't recommend any speed testing on wireless. Just ensure that the wired connection is good.

Wireless Configurations
Links>Wireless Installation Considerations and Managing Signal Congestion

• Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something thats already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
• What wireless modes are you using?
• 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz routers: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N on 2.4Ghz and single mode N on 5Ghz?
• Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
• Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear.
• What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES, so you might want to try TPIK only or Auto TPIK and AES.
• What wireless devices do you have connected?
• Any cordless house phones?
• Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer to find out. How many?
• If you have any of these options, Try turning OFF or ON Short GI, WLAN Partition, HT 20/40 Co-exhistance and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Recommended settings are default. Under Advanced/Advanced Wireless.
