Either this gets fixed or i buy a new (non netgear) router that works like it is supposed to.
You're aware this is the community support forum where members of the public try to help out for free?
We're not netgear and threatening to leave is only going to make people less likely to help you.

I am not making a threat! I have been using Netgear for years and until now have been very pleased with their prioducts. I am in a new house and bought a new router in Janurary (this Nighthawk). I am having all kinds of issues and Spectrum is telling me the issue is this router. Netgear wont help me as my unit is over 4 months old. so I came here. When I researched this issue I noticed a lot of Nighthawks seems to have a throttling issue, and they went back a few years. That scares me as this issue has been around and doesn't seem to have been fixed. I should be able to take a gigabit router and plug in in and not have issues. If this issue cant be resolved, then I wasted money on this router and really worry about Netgear quality such that I wont want to buy another router from them until they resolve their quality. I am retired and dont have the money to throw away on routers that dont work properly.
