Netgear CM1000v2 and Netgear Ac1200 slow internet speed wireless
Hi there, im giving this forum a try to see if anyone can help me. Im getting really slow interent speeds. Im paying for a gigabit (granted i know it may not always be that high) but im getting very ...
Ensure your getting near 900Mbps speeds with a wired PC connected directly to the CM1200 modem. IT should see this. I know mine does.
Your router is old enough that it may not support near 900Mpbs wired speeds thru it. Let alone seeing anything near 500Mpbs on wireless which maybe max limitation of your model router. Most current routers and wifi devices max out at around 400-600Mpbs on wifi. You'll need a router that supports 1733Mbps connection rates or AX supporting router along with a wireless device that supports 1733Mbps on 5G or an AX mode supporting device to see anything near 900Mbps spees on wifi.
NG R7800 supports 160Mhz channel width that supports 1733Mbps on 5GHz AC. There are other routers as well, however this is only half of the equasion where you need a wifi client device that supports the same connection rates. Some do, some don't.
Good Luck.
