Can't get Gigibit speeds from Nighthawk Routers (RAX45, R6400)
 I have the RAX45 | Nighthawk (AX4300) but it wasn't on the list to select, so I'll pick the RAX40  https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rax45.aspx  https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking...
- May 09, 2020Hey Christian, thanks for the reply, I ended up doing a factory reset on the router and that fixed my issue. I am now getting full speeds. So far its been working great since yesterday.

Hello mando41,
May you check to see if setting the cable modem to modem mode only and having the Nighthawk act as the router produces the same results.
Thanks,
Christian

So far its been working great since yesterday. - sleekoneMay 13, 2020TutorI went ahead and reset my old R6400 to factory setting, attached this to the 2nd connection on my xFinity Gig Router to see if I get different results. I do not The R6400 is set to AP only, the same top line speed of 300-350mb going through the router -- It's in AP Mode -- WMM is disabled -- No access control (as it's not in router mode) -- Firmware up to date (v.1.0.1.52_1.0.36) -- Just 1 device connected to R6400 Wired - Surface running Windows 10 - sleekoneMay 13, 2020TutorI'm getting around 800+mb down /40mb up using Speedtest app, to my Surface, direct connection to xfinity gig router , not the 950mb down I was getting a few days ago. It's eary evening, could be just the time of day 
 
 
- sleekoneMay 13, 2020TutorWouldn't I have to sit on Comcast product support so that they then provisioned my new router? that doesn't sound like a fun exercise I'm going to call netgear and see if they can tell me why I can't get more than 350mb out of this new router I just bought
