R6400 slow internet
I am having extremely slow internet speeds thNetgearhe netgear router I just purchased.
the wifi and lan speeds are just crawling. I replaced a 4-year-old router that was running much faster via lan and wifi.
Is slow internet speeds a known issue with this Netgear router? Any ideas how I can fix this? I have a job and a family so I don't have a ton of time to tinker around with my LAN.
Hi sb123,
1. Please check your connection while bypassing the router and connected straight to the modem.
2. What is the firmware version of the router?
3. You can try resetting the router.
4. You can try changing the MTU. The links below may help out.
