You're not the only one experiencing this. '
heres a couple things you can try.
1. Make sure the firmware is current.
2. Factory reset the router. when you install make sure not to enable qos, triffic monitoring, data monitor, circle, parental controls, etc. Anything that monitors data can reduce the speeds.
3. If you don't have IPv6 enabled, try enabling it.
4. If none of that works, try turning on qos, seeing if you can manually set the speed for gigabit. test it.
5. then disabling qos.
Nothing fixing it? I'd highly recommend opening a case with support if you're within your 90 day window. Multiple users have reported this issue and the more that open a support case with netgear, the more resources netgear is liable to devote to resolving it.
1. All firmware is up to date.
2. All disable. No positive efect. speed still the same.
3. I did enable IPv6. reboot router. No positive efect. speed is still the same.
4. did what you ask with same results as above. No positve efect. speed is still the same.
5. my 90 day pass sometime last month so nothing a can do about it now.
K0walskiK0rwa, a few comments and questions….
[1] You may be able to request a replacement router from Netgear, if the product is still within the warranty period. Please see How do I request a Return Material Authorization (RMA)?
[2] You may wish to temporarily substitute another router in place of the RAX200 for testing. If the LAN throughput problem disappears, then that is additional evidence that the RAX200 may be defective.
[3] Does the LAN throughput problem occur, when the router is in a factory reset condition (i.e., before you modify any settings)?
[4] You may wish to use a Cat 6a cable from the RAX120 to the PC, if not already in place.
[5] Finally, did this problem only recently appear – or, has it been present since you first started using the RAX200?
1. i already replace 1 router when i tray to fix wan agregation problem with end up with fiasco.
2. yes i will tray that in couple of day.
3. yes most of the test i did was done after facory reset.
4. i did tray multiple wire including cat 6a.
5. looks like the problem was from the beggining. i have speedtest results as far back to 10/19/2019 that show the speed never jump above 500 Mbit, unles i connect modem direc to my destop then i got full 1 Gigbit.
