Netgear network speeds
So I have a home network with a mix of Win7 (Pro and Ultimate) and Win10 (Pro and LTSB) machines, desktops, towers, NUC and SFF laptops and tablets. Both wired and wireless. The Netgear Nighthawk XR...
let me see if I can get a mod to move this to the pro gaming forum where the dumaOS guys are.
they're great at knowing the ins/outs of the XR1000 you use.

That would be great, I'd like to see new firmware and a never version of the OS that wasn't so slow. Not to mention SNMP support.
"1.4gig download/50mbps upload from Xfinity"
Riddle me this though. Assuming you have a modem with a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, what router do you have and computer do you have that gives you 1.4Gbps thoughput?
Thanks again for your help,

I have a CM2000 (has a 2.5gig port) running to my RBKE963 which then goes to an 8 port 2.5gig switch, then to 2x custom pc's that one has a 2.5gig port and the other a 2.5/5/10gig port. so plenty of testing. Not at home right now to test those sites you posted.
Now that I have a rock solid 940+ wired Ethernet connection to all my ten computers, I am wondering why using the same test sites and standing next to the router, my 5Ghz wireless connections are all around 500Mbps.
Why do I lose so much through the XR1000 router? No QoS or VPN enabled. default factory settings.
Perhaps this should go the the Nighthawk forum?

Btw, these are all 5.2Ghz 802.11 n, ac, or ax connections.
