Nighthawk R8000 Slow internet speed after 1000mbit ISP
Hi guys !
So I just changed ISP and got a new cable modem ( sagemcom). When the cable modem functions as a router/modem I get a hardwired speed of app. 800 mbit, but when I put it in bridge mode and hook it up to my Nighthawk the download speed drops to app. 200 mbit ? I've upgraded the firmware, ran the setup wizard, did a couple of power cyclings, Nada ....
Any suggestions ?

Please post about this here for your model router:

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
Good Luck.
