AC1900 C7000 v2 slow WiFi speeds
I have Comcast Internet and was getting a little over 150mbps with the xfinity router but I wanted to save some money and not rent the router so I bought a Nighthawk C7000 which is on the comcast com...
I've had the same C7000 since it was released. Same issues. After some random time, usually a couple of weeks or so, both the WiFi and LAN speeds slow to a crawl. I have Spectrum 300Mbps download / 20Mb upload. When I start noticing slow speeds, I go to speedtest.net and it shows very slow 40-50Mbps download. The only way to resolve the issue, is to reboot the modem. It will stay at that slow speed indefinitely until rebooted. Spectrum has no idea on how to fix it and referred me to Netgear. Yet Netgear has never fixed the problem. I'll be replacing it soon with another brand. I tried changing WiFi channels on both 2.4 and 5Ghz. Didn't help. But it's not just wifi, but LAN speed affected too.

WarpedTrekker Your issues could be much different as you're having lan/wan speed changes. Please start your own thread so we can help specific to you. Please include a screen snip of your modem connections page. Spectrum isn't known to be even slightly helpful with troubleshooting their lines if you're using 3rd party equipment.
I have the same exact problem. Using Wi-FI sweet spot app, I get 200mbs from my device to the router after a reboot. Like you, after a few days or so, speeds drop to 40mbs or so.
