I am bought MR70 and MS70 in recent day. It found that the download speed is extremely slow via this mesh router..The download speed is around 80Mbps and upload speed is find (~900Mbps) via wired (PC) and wireless (Phone)But when i plug the network cable from modern to PC directly, the download speed is going to (~900Mbps). Anyone can help to solve this problem? Mesh Router Information:Hardware VersionMR70Firmware VersionV1.0.3.34_2.0.58GUI Language VersionV1.0.3.100_2.1.46.1

What speed testing app are you using on the PC and phone? Ooklas installable is recommended. Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-App/NETGEAR-Mobile-Applications-and-Apple-Devices-FAQ/td-p/2220015/jump-to/first-unread-message Try disabling the following and see:Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter. What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.

Ans: Yes, CAT6 is using for all connection (Modem to Router, Router to PC etc) When i change back to Netgear LAX20, then everything return to normal (Download: ~900Mbps / Upload: ~900Mbps)

Maybe i click something wrong in the website. The problem is not solved yet.Because the website show different wording (nor English) in English web page

Try something, if you can, disable the WiFi radios on the LAX20. Connect up one ethernet cable to the MR70 while it's not connected to anything and change it's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 and apply the change. As the MR reboots, connect it's WAN port to a free open LAN port behind the LAX20. MR should get a front LED thats BLUE. If and when it does, run another speed test with the one PC connected behind the MR while it's connected to the LAX20...
