Crappy Wireless Speeds Suddenly

Hey, folks. Recently the wireless speeds of my home network have become insanely slow. I did a few Speed Tests and on wireless I'm getting around 0.5 Mbps, which is hardly anything. When I connect through Ethernet, I get expected speeds of 26 Mbps.

I've done this experiment on several different PCs in the home and all do the same thing, so it's not a PC problem. I'm thinking it could possibly be interference, but I don't know of anything that I bought recently that could be contributing to interference. Everything was fine up until a couple weeks ago. I changed the channel on the router to 11, but that hasn't fixed it.

My ISP is Verizon FiOS and the router is a Westell 9100 series. Would love to hear some suggestions on how to fix this!
 
I would see if there was a firmware update for the router. Is the router getting hot?
