packet loss and headaches
to verify, i have the r6700v3 but apparently that isnt a valid option. anyways, i got this nighthawk router a while back and i havent used it in about a year due to the packet loss and latency is...
Not all manufacturer's bridge mode works properly. Try the modem in modem/router mode and put the netgear in AP mode. See if that works.
I believe in the netgear instructions it says to put the modem into bridged mode, so that's what i did, then i ran the yellow cord from the modem to the router itself, power cycled the modem, then if i plugged my pc ethernet into either one, there was no internet, nighthawk genie couldnt find an internet connection at all, even if i plugged the ethernet back into the modem in bridged mode, no internet. Back of the nighthawk, same result. It kept telling me that i either didnt power cycle or have the wire in the wrong place.
So no, im not running double nat, but im about to try i think.

alright. will reply with what happens
ok so i put the nighthawk in AP mode and now the internet is working while my pc is plugged into the nighthawk. Speedtest shows my download at 100mbps when i pay for 1000mbps. removing the ethernet from the nighthawk to the docsis keeps internet, however im also slowed to 100mbps
check your cable.
Also, check the qos on the modem/router combo device. The netgear in AP mode lets the modem/router handle everything.
cables are all snug as a bug, the modem i was provided with has no qos settings also.
im gonna mark this as the solution because it seems to have fixed my packet loss. Im still at a loss of why my pc is speedtesting at 100, but xbox is saying its well over that so it's probably just my pc's ethernet port that's limited.
I appreciate all the help you've given me, thank you.
