CM2000 LED and R8000
As it's probably been fairly established that the R8000 has a firmware issue with handling data packets. i.e. not reaching speeds past 300mbps in my particular case. I am now trying to figure out why ...
FURRYe38 answered the 2.5g port versus the 1gig port.
in terms of the routers speed, you should be able to hit 800mbps when wired (won't hit that wireless).
1. what firmware version are you on?
2. have you used qos, access controls, traffic monitoring, or parental controls on your devcie? if so, factory reset it and reinstall it (not from a backup). during the install, make sure to leave those services disabled.
Yes thank you for answering the LED "issue." Rookie mistake, cannot believe I didn't even think about that. But now to the other issue:
1. Firmware 1.0.4.74
2. I had these disabled and did a factory reset last night. I left all of them disabled after the factory reset but it still was giving me speeds of 250-300mbps off LAN. I know it's not the cables as I got the speeds you would expect when I was directly connected to the CM2000.
