Firmware Version V1.0.5.126_1.0.65 - Not Showing Correct Speed Test Result

The latest Firmware Version V1.0.5.126_1.0.65 - dropped my internet speed test result into half of real speed result.  I verified the other internet speed test websites and all showed the correct speed result.  Can anyone prod the Netgear developer to rid off the bug.

    So if you actually test on the devices you have, you get the proper speed? 

    But if you use the built in speedtest, you get incorrect speeds? 

    Is this correct? just clarifying.

     

    If so, ignore the built in speedtest. Its results are rarely accurate because a lot of the time it doesn't choose the correct speedtest server. Some of them can't saturate faster speeds.
