Can I do 600 MBPS?

Can I do 600 MBPS on the WAN side of the Nighthawk R7900p? I'm only reaching 130 MBPS using the providers Speed test.

 

Thanks

    Using ethernet, the R7900P should be able to hit gigabit. 

    What modem/gateway do you have? 

    What device are you testing on? 

    What firmware is on the router? 

    Have you tried different speedtest sites and devices? 

    Try disabling qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls and then reboot the device. (sometimes it even takes a factory reset and reinstall with leaving those disabled)

    Is that a wifi speed measurement? (Hard to tell from your message.) If so, maybe that's as fast as your wifi client can manage.
