In 1,000 Mbps out no more than 300 Mbps
Before I run out and buy another router, I have a Netgear Nighthawk X6 R7900 that I love, but after blaming Cox and then have them rub it in my face that the modem is producing 1,000 Mbps I'm wonderi...
How are you measuring the speed from the R7900? Wifi? Wired?
300 Mbps is as fast as you'll get with some wifi clients.
What firmware version do you have on the R7900?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The make and model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
