FVS318Gv2 Slow Internet Speed
Just noticed i am not getting close to 150Mbps download speed on my comcast plan.
I have a Netgear CM1000 Modem, linked to FVS318Gv2, which goes into a NightHawk 7000 wireless router.
Download speed is around 30-40Mbps, wireless or hardwired to the home network.
By passed everything apart from modem and ran speed check, getting 150+Mbps. Then added the FVS318Gv2 and rechecked the download speeds, dropped to 30-40Mbps again!!!
Assuming problem is with FVS318Gv2, checked and looked at everything but cant see anything wrong in the setup. Have latest firmware.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I think I'm having the same issue. Chater in my area upgraded their service to 200mbps. I am only getting 60mbps connected through the FVS318Gv2. When I connect directly to the modem, I get the 200mbps.
I saw a post here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/HARDWARE-VPN-FIREWALLS-AND/FVS318Gv2-Poor-WAN-to-LAN-throughput/m-p/1158327
that claims there isn't anything I can do. Is there some settings I can try?
