When I plug into my Router with an ethernet port I get 94 Mbps download and 11 upload. When I use Wifi with my Laptop literally right next to the router I get 14Mbps download and 11 upload. Any ideas on what I can do to up my wifi speeds?

Router is updated.
I only have N devices so I have it switched to N
At the time of testing no other Wifi devices were turned on
Distance was not an issue as I get the same speed whether I am right next to the router or downstairs
Smart Qos is turned to OFF

Situations like this are frustrating because there isn't much you can do.

Try different channels, could be interference from another wlan in the area.

Move the router to a new location. Could be interference from other electronics in the area or the actual structure of the house.

Pour some drano on the router. Sometimes the pipes get clogged with dropped bits and need to be washed out.

Don't try the last one.

Is it just the laptop or all wireless devices?

What speed are you paying for?

I have similar with my wireless. Multiple devices run about a quarter of the speed of wired computer.

Relocate the router.

Something is causing interference. While you won't get the FULL speed, it should be a lot more than 11mbps.
