Wifi download speed on iMac only is slooooow

I have had a bunch of ISP technicians here to check on my service.

There were definitely issues but it seems to be fixed - at least as far as my iPad but my Imac is registering horrendous downoad speeds at the same distance from the router (an Airport Extreme)


What gives? I've turned bluetooth off and tried removing and readding network but no go.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?

PHY Mode

Channel

Security

Signal/Noise or RSSI

Transmit (or Tx) Rate

Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.

Now hold down the option key again and select

 ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi

Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.
