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?

did you get gigabit speeds with your prior router?
If you directly hook up from computer to modem do you get gigabit speeds?

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.
- bmfkaiMay 24, 2019StarI'm having the exact same problem. QoS is disabled, latest firmware installed. I was getting 1.3gbit before upgrading to this router and still do when plugging the old router back in. They both have identical settings in terms of features enabled/disabled, port forwarding, static routes, etc.
- bmfkaiMay 24, 2019StarOk so this is weird, enabling QoS has fixed this issue for me.
