Nighthawk XR700 not getting full gigabit speeds
Hello.
I purchased a nighthawk righter earlier this month and i have not been able to achieve gigabit speeds.
attached screenshots show after multiple test.
I have updated firmware ...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
How are you speed testing? wired or wireless?
Try different PC to see any differences?
You might try this, manually download the FW file. Manually send it using IE11, FF or Opera.
Factory reset the router with a wired PC and ALL other devices disconnected from the router. While the Router is being reset. Power OFF the ISP modem for 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
Log into the router and walk thru the setup wizard. See if the auto detect speed gets anything hear 900Mb. If not manully input ISP speed UP and down. Then test with a web browser with speedtest.net or your ISP speed test site.
Also how do you manually enter the speeds, or can this only be done during the initial setup wizard of the router?
go to QoS ,click on the three bars at top left of page beside anti-bufferbloat,click on speed that its showing and change.
- Rick is correct.
What did you get after you reset the router? You said you disable QoS, was this from Anti-Bufferbloats options menu that specifically has an option called Disable QoS? If not do that and you should absolutely get much close to your expected speedsAfter reset i still get the same QOS is disabled yes i disbaled it from the 3 dashes and clicked it. 500-600. I saw the speed test shows 750 on router, i then inputed 950 and re tested again but still getting 500-600
i have cat 5e cable from mdoem to router, and cat 6 cable coming out ot my computer.
