Netgear r6400
Why can I not get speeds of 400 mbps? I can get it hardwired to modem. When I try through netgear router I can only get 200 mbps. Tried a reset after version update. Still only 200 mbps. Help would be...
Speed depends on the WiFi client. Are you sure it's capable of more than 200 Mbps? What device do you have?
I have the AC1750 Smart wifi router. Mosel R6400. It is supposed to handle 450 mbps on 2.4 ghz and 1300 mbps
on 5ghz speeds through wifi. It has five ports 10/100/1000 mbps. It is supposed to have auto sensing technology. Through modem I get 400 mbps. After it foes through router only about close 200 through the ports on the router.

- Do you use QoS?
Have you tried factory reset and set up from scratch?- Have tried the factory reset. That didn't work. QoS on the router?

Turn it off. QoS just gets in the way when you have an Internet speed much over 200 Mbps. It uses processor power.
Remember, you won't get 450 Mbps on 2.4 Ghz or 1300 Mbps on 5 Ghz through wifi.
Those are technical specifications for connection speeds and the like. Real wifi speeds depend on the wifi clients you use and are likely to be a whole load slower than those numbers. If you think about it, how could it deliver wifi speeds of 450 or 1300 Mbps when your Internet has a top speed of 400 Mbps? And 1300 Mbps is beyond the 1000 Mbps of your wired WAN and LAN connections.
