RAXE500 router throttling upload speed via wifi
Hello, I recently purchased a Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 tri-band router. I have a Verizon Fios gigabit connection. There is a CAT7 cable running from my ONT box to the router. There is also at CAT7...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is the CAT7 cable between the Modem and router UTP or STP?
What port are you using on the RAXE to connect to the ONT? Yellow WAN Port or the 2.5Gb port?
What wifi devices are you connecting and speed testing with?
Is Smart Connect enabled?
What channels are you using?
Is Beamforming and MIMO enabled?
Firmware version v1.0.9.78
(router was factory reset after installing)
I am unsure about the ONT mfr and model#. I will reply to this when I get home and can look at it. I do not believe this to be the issue as I did forget to mention in my post, the previous router I had, did not have this upload speed issue. (Previous router was a Verizon G1100).
Cat 7 cable is 100ft STP.
Yellow WAN Port is used to connect the router to the ONT.
Thanks,
