    I bought the modem as well. Model number is CM1200.

     

    "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices" is enabled (green checkbox)

     

    Not sure what WMM is. Looks like it might be equivalent of QoS on Netgear? It is not enabled. Right under it, "Let Speedtest detect my internet bandwitdh" is checked.

     

    Would MUT have anything to do with it?

      Yes, enable WMM. That should be enabled. Should see speed increase here.

        The WMM killed it from 150-200 down to 20-30. Going to keep plugging away and see if i can come up with something or might just bite the bullet on the netgear support.
