Circle limits the speed of gig router by more than half.

I have fiber coming to my house so my internet speeds run 950Mbps download at the modem, into the router and to my computer via wifi UNTIL I enable Circle Parental controls. My speeds immediately sink...

Hey Goosey, do you by chance have "Access Control" enabled? I disabled that with Circle enabled and being on the latest firmware seems to have done the trick for me.

    I do not have access control enabled. I have consistenly 1G coming into the Nighthawk, but crazy numbers coming out the other side via ethernet or wifi. Netgear support is working on it. They are in contact with me often requesting screen shots of various speedtests.
