so you're getting full speed when directly connected to the modem?
Seems to indicate the modems doing its job.
I'd be looking closely at the cable from the modem to the router/routers.
I did try a few different LAN cables. I was thinking the same thing, but it still doesn't explain why my laptop gets full speed since I used the same cable to connect my laptop as I use for the routers. I did order a new CAT8 cable today to see if that would make a difference.
I wasn't sure if there were settings in the CM700 that would slow the speed when connected to a router versus connected directly to a computer.

- Is there a setting in the CM700 modem that would slow the speed when talking to the router versus talking to the laptop?
no
