Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release. Set up from scratch. Power off the modem for 30 seconds then back ON. Be sure to not enable Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter or Access controls. Soon after the RBR is set up, run a quick speed test with Ooklas installable speed test app on a ethernet connected PC.

  While I appreciate the reply first I'm trying to determine if the RBR40 supports gigabit speeds. According to tech support for Netgear it does not. However, they have been wrong before . Before I started trying to reconfigure my network can you point to some Netgear documentation that my router supports gigabit speeds. I have been unable to find this, this is the only information I've been able to find

  And I don't see anywhere on that sheet that it says it supports gigabit speed.

    What you seek is WAN to LAN and Hardware NAT Accelleration support which some router mfrs don't post in data sheets. If the router doesn't have any Hardare NAT Acelleration features, then in most cases, you'll not see anything near 900Mpbs on the ethernet connection.

    Wireless with or with out HW NAT Accelleration tops out at 400-500Mpbs depending upon device support and wifi connection rates supported on wifi routers. https://kb.netgear.com/19668/Link-Rate-and-Transfer-Speed
