I have 1 gig service from Spectrum and the ethernet connections tops out at 450-600 while my 5g wireless is 1100. Spectrum came and checked the line and all was good. I can't see any obvious setting issues- any suggestions? I used both the Olka speedtest app and the Nighthawk one... Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed. https://kb.netgear.com/24231/How-do-I-back-up-the-router-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-routerEnjoy. 📡

What Firmware version is currently loaded?

What ethernet device are you speed testing with?

What CAT# cable are you using? CAT6 is recommended.

Is ethernet device connected to the Multi Gig port or a 1Gb port?

Is Armor, or traffic meter enabled?

So I Traffic meter enabled, hard to tell.

Try a different ethernet device?

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch with out Armor or Traffic Meter being enabled and see?
