Different device different speed
Firmware version - V1.0.9.12_1.2.23 I just switched to a new broadband service yesterday. Subscribed to a 100Mbps service. After the new install, I tested the speed on my iPhone using Speedtest ...

Ok. I went from 1.0.9.12 to 1.0.9.10. No change in the speed. Still getting around 38+/- mbps down on my iphone 10.slightly less than 25 up as expected.
I went down again to 1.0.9.6 and I just got 173.13 mbps down and as expected around 25 up (23.94 to be exact).
I tested my ipad (only tested after going to .6) and it went from the high 30's an hour ago to 177.98 down and 23.21 up. My laptop is getting 180.17 down and 23.92 up.
Not saying you will get the same results as me. But this is what I just saw.
Hope this helps. And I hope Netgear reads this and does something with the data.

i concurred your findings. I got my family member to downgrade to 1.0.9.6_1.2.19 and these are the speeds he got -
5Ghz - full speed 100Mbps Down and 100Mbps Up
2.4Ghz - about 30-50Mbps Down and 30-50Mbps Up
I considered this to be normal. Thank you for helping and sharing.
I think I might consider getting Mesh Wifi when I get back from vacation :)
- t76turboNov 10, 2017StarCool. Glad you are back as well.
Mine were all using 5g network. I figured that was clear. But just in case anyone else reads this my 2.4g results were as I expected the entire time. At least they were as they had been prior.
I have recently thought about looking into the mesh systems too. Guess this may prompt me to do a little research.
