After all that, and setting the Channel back to "mixed", the internet of the VLAN is terrible. I'm only connecting one device as a test, and still can't get a good internet speed, the location of the physical modem is right next to the computer I'm testing and still the connection shows like this:
Here are pictures of my settings:
Virtual:
Let me know if there's anything else that would be relevant.
I know that the modem isn't the latest and best hardware around, but the drop in speed seems outstanding.
Thanks.

Hello,
One possibility is security. Wireless-N / Wireless-AC require Open (no password) or at least WPA2 + AES security. Otherwise you will not get N or AC speeds, only Wireless-G speeds, max 54Mib/s connection speed, not internet download speed.
I would enable WMM support on the Virtual AP. That is probably one issue. Also required for N / AC speeds.

Read ian5142 's post. Your basic settings are bad.
For n/ac WLAN connections WMM support enabled is mandatory (on all WLAN interfaces !), without you only get 54Mbit (g) connection.
Second for n/ac you need WPA2 (Personal) CCMP-128 AES encryption, don't try any other or multiple selections until speed is improved/ok.
You may need optimize a few settings after fixing the mandatory settings.
