R6020 super slow
My modem went out on my C3700 so I decided to buy a CM500 and an AC750. I am getting the 110mbps straight out of my modem but when I go through the AC750 the most I can get through ethernet or wifi is about 30mbps.
The box shows I should be getting around 300mbps or more. Is there a setting I need to adjust to make my speeds reasonable?
What firmware is on the R6020?
Have you done a factory reset and reinstall? sometimes new devices get enough firmware updates that a reset helps.
Have you tried a different cable?
Make sure to test hardwired to ensure its not a wireless interference issue.
One other thing to keep in mind is the R6020 isn't a gigabit router. Its a 10/100mbps fast router. Even if the wireless is faster, the speeds coming to the device via the ethernet aren't. As well as link speed is different than actual throughput speeds.
