NETGEAR AX8 / RAX80 WAN/Internet Throttled - AVOID BUYING

I finally fixed my problem 

Final Results, I'm getting FULL 940 to 985 MBPS download (From Internet & Internal NAS Drive) - both in wired and wifi mode.

PLEASE NOTE** All my clients are wired or AC or AX devices.

Step 1 - Get the latestest firmware 

Step 2 - Turn OFF QOS

Step 3 - Turn OFF Traffic Meter

Step 4 - Turn OFF Access Control

Step 5 - Test you MTU with your MODEM from a wired connection MODEM <> PC  > https://kb.netgear.com/19863/Ping-Test-to-determine-Optimal-MTU-Size-on-Router

Step 6 - Adjust your MTU settings >> https://kb.netgear.com/24015/How-do-I-change-the-MTU-size-on-my-Nighthawk-router

Step 7 - Use WiFI Analizer - FIND THE BEST CH for WiFI - I put AUTO for 2.4 and CH36 for 5ghz 

Step 8 - ENABLE BEAMFORMING > DISABLE MUMIMO > ENABLE AX

My Router: Nighthawk RAX80 Firm V1.0.2.76_1.0.35

Internet: Cable 940 MBPS - I constantly get 940+ mbps when my PC is connected directly to CABLE MODEM

Devices; 15-20 

 

I'm annoyed beyond believe - i purchased by router Dec 2019 - 500 CAD$

This router has mind of its own for the WAN PORT.

 

There is countless people reporting this, I found this problem from the day i purchased it.

If only i had known, i would have returned it than, back than i asssumed it was my internet being throttled by ISP

 

What happens is,  the router is run for 1h at full speed wan, than starts throttling to 360 MBPS - wifi or wired. with QOS ON

 

Than if i turn off my QOS, speed goes up to 480 mbps.

THan if i trun back my QOS, speed goes up to 950+ mbps for few hours. until router starts throttling again.

 

Everything else - wifi speed, AX speed 800+ mbps over wifi, internet network.  WORKS PERFECLTY --
GOD DAM WAN is ONLY porblem only if you have Gigabit connection.

 

THE DAMM TECH at netgear are bunch of jockers with their MTU settings and stuff..

 

I wish i had returned it
