Hello,

I just bought a Airport Extreme Gen 3 of eBay and I got a 200/200 mbps connections and when i plugin ethernet cable i get the speed i expect, but when i go wireless i only have 60-ish mbps on 4 different devices, i believe that it should be doing a least 100 mbps. What can i be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance :)

Cant think how you wold could be doning anything wrong

maybe try connecting via ethernet to test the speed

The router is rated at 300 mbps and I would expect it to do at least 100 mbps, but I only get something like 60 mbps. As i said above when i plugin ethernet cable everything is fine.
