You're dealing with a challenging setup. The distance between your modems and the router might be affecting performance, especially with interference from the steel walls. Consider checking for other sources of interference, optimizing your router placement, or upgrading to a higher-bandwidth plan.

Suggest using Ethernet if your home is made of steel, and check if the issue lies with your internet service. We experienced slow speeds before, but it wasn't from our router—it was the provider. Interference also doesn't solve the problem.

No, I don't have the ability to check the router's mode directly.

Connect via a LAN cable from your router to your PC and check the connection speed.
