DD-WRT Kong 2016 (slow wireless speeds)

I flashed my Netgear R6400 yesterday, set up my wireless channels and so on just as they were setup on the stock firmware, and my speeds were cut by about a third (180 down on the 5 GHz cut down to 60 GHz). Is there some sort of setting, different from the stock settings, that's limiting my speeds?

Thanks in advance for any help,
McLean

No problem, I should've been more clear. What solved my problem was increasing the channel width.

Ah thanks. I had to do a 'erase nvram' and reboot. Then select country EUROPE to get maximal bandwidth for 2.4 and 5 Ghz.

None of these solutions worked for me.  I am only getting half the bandwidth i was getting on stock.

I just checked the Tomato site for firmware for the R6400 and I don't see it listed. Ceelos, are you using an R6400?

If your channel width is

If your channel width is maxed, maybe you could try adjusting your channel extensions.

I just flashed "DD-WRT "Kong

I just flashed "DD-WRT "Kong Mod" for NETGEAR R6400 2016-09-27" on my R6400 and was getting half of what my regular internet speed was for download (supposed to get 100mpbs but was seeing 50mbps on 5ghz).

Like mclean211 mentioned, I went and changed Channel Width to "VHT80 (80 MHz)", left Wireless Channel on auto, and left Extension Channel on lower lower. Now I'm seeing 100mbps down again.

Thanks for the help guys!
