Wifi on the other hand ranges from 8-40 DL but a consistent 14/15 upload on the 2.4/5.0GHz bands. Does anyone know what setting I should look into to tweak/fix the DL speeds? The first time I speed tested via the speed test app on 5.0GHz on my iphone, I was getting 150/15, but via browser, speed test sites were showing 50-60/15 which I was ok with. But after I started tinkering with the settings, my download speeds have been unstable. I even reset the modem to default and my DL speeds are still all over the place. Upload is fine at about 12-15. The fact UL is ok almost seems like it's not a interference issue, but I could be wrong.
Just want to see what else I can look into myself before calling tech support.

Changing the channel on the wifi may help you. You can use a wifi analyser to assist in your decision.

I highly recommend using the 5 GHz band it's better in busy wifi locations. Also testing right next to the modem will test your wifi device's capabilities since the distance is short. If it's slow there then your device maybe the cause of your issues. You want to be running 802.11 AC to get full speeds and older devices on the same band will slow your other devices.
