R6020 Not getting expected internet speeds

I purchased this router when we upgraded our service to 225Mbs upload and download. I have had everything into the office checked and our ISP is providing that speed. The problem is, as soon as I reconnect this nighthawk router the speed via ethernet and wireless drops to 90. Is there some setting required to get the speed I want?

Thank you

  • The setting would be a new router. 

    the R6020 isn't a gigabit router. Its only fast ethernet speeds. Meaning its wan/lan ports are only 10/100mbps ports. 

    You won't see faster than 94mbps from it. 

    If you're wanting faster speeds, you need to upgrade to a gigabit capable device.
