When the issue began

When I've connected to the internet via Wifi to my new router.

Recurring issue

Yes

Date of purchase

22nd of October

Description of problem

The speed Decreases by 50% while using a router.The router is like 15centimeters away from where I use my laptop.I have a 100 Mbps Connection and would get around 95 Mbps if I connect directly (wire)via modem. But since I had to be able to connect to multiple devices i bought a router for it.And now when i use it via wifi(new router) the speed drops by 50-60% and I get around 40 Mbps.Stable.It's depressing.

Cause/Steps to recreate the issue

Connecting via wifi cause the speed drop.Connecting via modem directly through a wire gives me full speed.

What I've tried so far to resolve the issue

I tried, connecting other devices via wifi,Same result. The wifi speed is like about halved.I didn't have another ethernet cable to test if that wouldn't cause the speed drop.
