Nighthawk RAX80 slow WiFi
Hi, I have gigabit internet and just replaced my router with the RAX80. I updated it but somehow get just 400mbs in wired connection straight to the router. How can I fix this?

What have you done to try to troubleshoot this?
Have you tried a different computer?
Tried a different browser?
Have you tried disabling QOS to see if that helps?
Or tried a different speedtesting website?
We would need to know what you've done to try to fix the problem. What firmware is your router on?
did you get gigabit speeds with your prior router?
If you directly hook up from computer to modem do you get gigabit speeds?
- Yes I did get gigabit speed prior and with the modem directly plugged in
What firmware are you on?
have you tried resetting the router and starting back at factory?
Are you on the most current firmware? if so and still having issues, have you tried downgrading the firmware a version or 2? sometimes the newest firmware has issues.
Just thoughts to try.
- I have used other computers, still way lower than expected. Different browser and speedtesting site as well. Disabled QoS didnt hell. The router shows gigabit speed on the inbuilt speedtest but somehow eats half of it before sending it wired
