EX8000 with FIOS G3100
I am pairing my new EX8000 with a FIOS G3100 WiFi6 router with full 1Gb service, and no matter what I do I cannot get acceptable speeds when connecting to the Nighthawk. Tried with SON enabled and disabled on G3100, and also with the EX8000 using the same or different SIDs. I've also updated the firmware on both devices AND connected via ethernet. Same results. When connected to the EX8000 I get download speeds not exceeding 20mbps and upload speeds ranging from 40mbps (2.4ghz) to 80mbps (5ghz). This is when located 1 foot from the EX8000. The same device (tried 3 laptops and a phone) connected to the G3100 gets download/upload speeds ranging from 50mbps to 600mbps+. Using the Netgear app to test speed shows the same anomaly (low download and decent - not great - upload speeds). Would truly appreciate any siuggestions before I return the device.

Woked with the support team and there was no improvement. Suspicion is that the G3100 deosn't play nice with this model - or possiblky with Netgears as a whoile. Will seek other options and return EX8000. Oh well....
