RAX200 download speed slow
I moved from an X10 router to a new RAX200. I have a 1150v modem. When I had the X10, I got a speed of 935 mbps. My ISP plan has a download speed of 1200 mbps. After the setup to RAX200,...
I tested with
- wired connection of my laptop to the router, with using Ookla speedtest and Xfinity speedtest
- using the Nighthawk app from my phone
I did the tests over 10 times at different times of the day.
Please note that the same sites had worked with my older X10 router
When you're plugged directly into the cm1150v, what speeds do you get currently?
I got 937 mbps when connected to the modem
What firmware version is on the RAX?
Did you try a factory reset? After the reset, test the speeds without changing any of the default settings and see what you get.
I did a factory reset of the modem and tested the speed on it. I get only 720 mbps. I see large variations in the speed in the modem when I check multiple times. I guess the issue is with the modem and not the router.
