My iPhone 5 is getting significantly slower wifi speeds than my laptop. I have heard that lots of other people are also having slow wifi speeds too. Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

UPDATE: Here is a speed test with LTE on and LTE off. It seems like LTE on is causing the slow wifi.

Mine is doing the same thing. But it's only with my Airport Extreme that I am not able to connect, my Verizon FIOS router works fine, but its G, not N.

Turning off LTE (I have an AT&T phone) had it working on both networks.
 
I thought my iphone 5 had slow wifi till I realized that my router wasn't long ranged for my house. I moved into the middle and now it works perfectly. Looks like ill have to get a long range router for my house. Anyone has suggestions. I have the free garbage cox gave me. Only works when your close to it. I want one that will work in any part of my house thanks
