I did a reset but nothing else. I'll follow your instructions and see if that improves my situation. Thanks for the guidance.
I'd power OFF the modem as well for 1 minute then back on.
I did a power reset and turned off ACCESS CONTROL and ran a test, 358 Mbps DOWN and 11.7 UP.
I have NEVER seen those speeds since I bought the router back in Jan 2019. Thank you so much. Not sure what ACCESS CONTROL did or does or maybe it was just the POWER DOWN/RESTART but I'm a happy camper. Was going to throw in the towel and buy a new router.
