Nighthawk R6900v2 Slow Speeds
Testing my routers speed from my app it is recieving 140-170 mbps download speeds.
I updated the firmware and the current version is v1.2.0.62_1.0.1
I factory reset my router and turned off smart connect.
When I connect my PS4 to the 5ghz wifi or 2.4ghz i am getting 5-20mbps.
I have tested over and over. Sometimes I will get up to 80mbps however my gameplay experiences packet loss and latency issues.
When I bypass my router and connect directly to my modem, I immediately get the 150mbps and no packet loss or latency issues.
I feel as though I shouldn't have to go tweak a bunch of settings in order to obtain the speeds and such advertised on the packaging.

What modem are you using? (brand and model)
How are you testing speeds? Game servers aren't reliable speedtest sites.
look at speedtest.net or dslreports.com to test speeds.
