Ac3200 X6 R8000 Slow Upload Speed
I have a X6 Ac3200 R8000 and for some reason it has or is capped to 6mb upload. So OK I have done this so far. -Reset router to factory settings using the reset button -Adjust and tweak MTU -Set ...
Hi Bitoy004,
There are two routers on the networks which affects the performance of the 2nd router. You can configure the R8000 as AP or set the frontier to modem only if there is an option.
Hi Bitoy004,
1. Is it the same issue on all LAN ports of the router?
2. What is the speed of your wireless devices?
I get the same speed on the upload on LAN or Wifi as long as you connect to the netgear router. But if I connect it to the frontier router I get the full upload speed of my net.
direct connect to frontier router bypassing netgear
84/83 mbps
connect to netgear piggy back to frontier
84/6 mbps
-on AP mode on netgear-
84/26 mbps
Hi Bitoy004,
Is the frontier router your modem as well? If yes, can you set the frontier to modem only and let the R8000 set as the router?
The frontier is not a modem it is a router, but you can either use coax or cat6 cable to connect to the fiber box install in my garage. Since they used a coax I have no choice but to use that modem. Unless I run a cat6 cable from my garage to my attic, which I wont be doing since its summer in Scal at 100'F heat. Not sure how to fix this it is only the upload speed that is not going full speed. So for now I set it as AP mode for wireless and connect all the wired to the frontier router. My upload speed on wireless device is half speed running at 20 to 40mbps, but all my wired system connected directly to the frontier upload is 80-86mbps.
