R6700v3 slow ethernet, slow wifi
I have poor internet speeds, download speed to be specific, while connected to my router. I have tried connecting directly to my modem (CM500V) and have my usual ~180 Mbps down, but with the router I have anywhere between 5-1 Mbps down.
I have tried the following:
- Resetting my router, i.e. pushing the button on the back, unplugging all of the wires from the device
- Factory resetting it
- Changing the ethernet cable
- Unplugging the modem
- Reverting to an old firmware version R6700v3-V1.0.2.66_10.0.48
- Upgrading back to the current firmware R6700v3-V1.0.3.66_10.0.50
- Changing the MTU size to 1300, and 1400 from the original 1500
- Switching the ethernet port I use to connect to my pc
