Slow wifi; direct connection is fine

Hi,  I have  F+ 300 internet and an XB6.  On a wired connection I consistently get a little over my advertised speeds.   This drops to around 10-50 on wifi.  Even with a test right next to my modem.  I've done all the cable resets and reboots but nothing really changes that much.  In addition my internet seems to drop out every now and then but not enough to bother me.   I upgraded from 150 with the same set-up.  On 150 my wifi speeds were close enough with no big variance.

When I look at my network link speed it say 144/144.  not sure what this means but I see 10/100/1000 mentioned as being the speed it should be.

Any ideas?  Thank you

@harju -- my network link speed it say 144/144.  not sure what this means

Are you looking at the actual speeds of your computer's WiFi adapter ?

WiFi adapters are either "G" (up to 56 Mbps) or "N" (up to 150 Mbps) or "AC" (over 866 Mbps).

Note that some "N" adapters can "double" the speeds. 

Are you getting "144-out-of-150" ?  If so, that's pretty good for a "wireless N" adapter.

> I see 10/100/1000 mentioned as being the speed it should be.

Those are the standard speeds for a "wired" Ethernet adapter, not a WiFi adapter.
