RAX200 Unable to maintain speed
My RAX200 is unable to maintain the speed i get from my ISP. I had small issuses before the latest update V1.0.5.132_1.0.69 but nothing like this. So today i have tried reseting to factory defaul...
FURRYe38 I will update tomorow with the Mrf and model, but im located in Sweden.
I messure with cable and wireless and from the admin panel of the router. If the speed drops it's the same on all three interfaces.
If i reboot i get 1100+mbps with cable maybe around 900-1100 with wireless WiFi 6 band and normal 5ghz speed around 850-950mbps.
Ok, will need ISP modem info.
FURRYe38 Also tested now turning on WiFi on my modem, from the modem im getting 900mbps on WiFi, from the RAX200 im getting 480mbps
Restarting the RAX200 gives me about 10-20min of full speeds then back to 480mbps while the modem wifi stays at 900mbps, defentlie something wrong with the RAX200. Can i do a rollback to an old firmware? But i guess im missing important security patches then
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
