R510 Network Slow Speeds averaging 30-50 Mbps

Hello,
I have 3 R510's in my home.  1 for each floor, ceiling mounted and placed central to each floor.   None of the clients on our network can ever achieve more than 50Mbps.   My PC which is 15ft around a slight corner from the AP got 30 Mbps down and 80Mbps up on an AP to Client speed test.

I am fairly technical, but Wi-Fi AP's is not my specialty.   I found this great thread where changing the setting from "performance" to "compatibility" helped tremendously.

I don't see anything like that.

I have 1GB cable modem, and am about to change my network to a Dual Wan 1Gb Fiber Connection + a 200Mbps Cable connection.  But none of this does any good if the clients are stuck at 30Mbps.

Any thoughts on how to optimize this network?

Thanks

Ok, forcing it over to 5ghz I get 155Mbps.. much better.  

thanks for your help

Your wifi card is an 802.11n wifi card. 802.11n with 2 spatial streams won't get more than about 100mbit in the best possible conditions, so 30-50mbps in real world conditions sounds about right.

To get these kinds of 500mbit speeds you're seeing from others with the R510, your laptop really needs an 802.11ac or better wifi card -- the newer the better.
