That's news to me. I'm surprised they didn't tell you that was a high speed for the internet in the USA.
I'm on wireless channel 8.I've tried all other ones 1-11 and even the Automatic setting.I have 45Mbps Uverse.I'm getting 4Mbps on Wifi.I do,however,get 45 Mbps on a wired connection.
The AT&T technician has come out and checked the wiring,installed a new gateway.For some reason the Wifi is a bit faster on my smartphones-12Mbps
