What speeds do you see when directly connected to the CM modem? With out the MR router connected?

Your only getting 95Mbps when ethernet connected to the MR? 

 

What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

 

Most speeds seen at the MS will not be near 900Mbps. Building materials and distances will be a factor here. Especially wirelessly connected MS. Ethernet, you'd see better speeds. 

 

Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

 

Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status and event log page.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.

    Your only getting 95Mbps when ethernet connected to the MR? - Yes

    What speeds do you see when directly connected to the CM modem? With out the MR router connected? For some reason since I'm using an ethernet to USB adapter to laptop it doesn't seem to register anything BUT when i run the Netgear App states that the MR unit is getting that (just did it again now its says 638.38 Download and 23.88 Up with 14ms ping) 

    What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)️?  From Main one in the center of the home to one in kitchen about 30-40 feet . from Main MR to MS on 2nd floor about 30-40ft.

     

    Most speeds seen at the MS will not be near 900Mbps. (I understand that but i would hope to be getting ATLEAST 300 near these devices) 

     

    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many? We live in farmland with very spacious areas and I only see 1 other WiFi from neighbor (weak signal) thats about it.
