Netgear XR300 Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router slows down my WiFi and not enough range

Hello guys, I recently bought a nighthawk Pro gaming router and honestly I wanted it to work cause I thought this is netgear but I was disappointed unless I didn’t know what I was getting. Anyways to get to the point, the router was slowing down my internet speeds to a crawl(I always get 500mbpsup/30down) on a spectrum router . Also the range was definitely less than the spectrum router as this router couldn’t reach my garage for a garage door opener.

  • On the QoS page in the Anti-Bufferbloat menu options have you entered the speeds you expect to get? Are you using the Anti-Bufferbloat feature at all? The slow speeds is this through WiFi or ethernet?
