NightHawk MR5100 Connection Speed

Dear All

 

I'm Using MR5100 for my 5g connection its a really good router that can provide the speed that you expected from it.

 

but I have 2 Issues with it :-

 

1- when I connect it through USB 3.2 for tethering i'm only get a connection speed 855 Mb/s and by wifi 6 I got only 866 Mb/s and if I connect it through Ethernet only get 1 Gb per secend.

 

I have another 5g hotspot from a different company which can give me 2Gb/s through USB 3.2.

 

so how can I connect my nightHawk though USB 3.2 to let it give me 2Gb/s ?

 

2- Many times my router throttling its drops from 500 or 600 Mb/s to 10 or 20 Mb/s in speedtest and direct downloads so the only way to fix it is to turn it off for a while and then turn it on I think it something about overheating idk my room temps are 68 F.

 

Kindly help

 

Best regards

      I can't help with this.  But I remember how happy I was to get a 14.4 kbps modem upgrade from 2400 baud.  Now I'm reading a post saying, "I can ONLY get 1 gigabit" and it's making me think about life.
