I have an arris cable router that supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, I used tools to find out which channel for each I should be using in my case it is cannel 1 for the 2.4 and channel 44 for the 5. On wifi i get a down speed of about 108 Mbps and an up rate of about 18 Mbps for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz as they are configured to be using open channels for my area, but when i switch to an ethernet connection my down speed suddenly spikes to 198 Mbps and upload remains about the same. Is there a way to configure this is my router? If it helps my router model is DG1670 by Arris.

Jump to PostBut what WiFi is that? 802.11n, g, ac, ??? And what about the ODFM?
Finally, given WiFi Channels (google that for the Wikipedia) isn't 1 or the highest channel a bad idea?
Jump to PostIf you don't have 802.11a gear, that's a good move. As to OFDM, you can read the Wikipedia on WiFi Channels to see that plus see why channel 1 and top are poor choices.
While you're there, how many non-overlapping channels are there in 802.11n 40 OFDM?
