R6400v2 Speed issue
hi i created a topic about this back in 2019 and the issue still isnt resolved . my internet speed is 500/500 mbps , im able to get those speeds on the V1.0.3.66_10.0.50 software , but when i update ...
Have you tried just downgrading? I've seen multiple issues on the newer firmware.
Yes and the speeds were good but theres security flaws on the older firmware.
So you have a choice.
Keep the current firmware and speed and hope there will be a firmware that comes out quickly to fix the issue.
Or downgrade and hope the "security fixes" aren't that significant since netgear doesn't release what the actual fixes are.
In my experience, I'd downgrade. I've had routers that didn't get a single update and didn't have anyone penetrate my equipmen/system.
but it is a risk you take.

Netgear will not, and should not, explain what security fixes are designed to mend. To do so would tell the evil people out there that there are unplugged holes in the dyke.
But a cursory glance at the long list oif security issues that Netgear warns about will quickly reveal that most of them are hypothetical. Something uncovered in one of those security labs somewhere but that have never been seen in the wild.

Some people go for years without firmware updated for security fixes. (One recent visitor here is using a router that hasn't had an update in near on-five years, with no seeming damage to their security.)
