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 ...
Two things to check:
Is your modem in bridge mode or modem mode when you're running these tests?
Have you fully disabled QoS? (In Anti-Bufferbloat advanced options)
If you've done both of these and you're not hitting GB speeds then I'm not sure what else the cause is, the XR700 can comfortably hit GB speeds ordinarlily so it's hard to know what else is preventing it from doing so here.
What is the Goodput should i uncheck that, Ive had Disable QOS checked
Is this on the XR router? Try both settings.
Yes this is on the XR Router, both settings meaning, check goodput on and then off?
Also for every setting changed no matter what is it best to reset the router?
Yes, I would factory reset and setup from scratch. Power OFF the ISP modem as well during this process. Walk thru the setup wizard. see if the wizard auto detects the speed correctly, if not, go in and manually set it, then run a speed test before and after making changes.
Someone already suggested that in this thread i did that. At the beginning of the reset i as only getting 34mpbs and i restarted and got low 500s. After that i loaded my old settings back in.
If you're getting half speeds after factory reset, then it will be someting to do with the modem passing the connection onto the XR700.
Please try toggling the modem between modem mode (or bridge mode) and off again. Speedtest on each setting through the XR700 and see if there is a difference.
