Modem & Router with Xfinity issue Drop in speeds
Hello all,
I am pretty much a novice when it comes to setup beyond the basic stuff. I have Xfinity 1200 mbps and using the below equipment:
Modem: Netgear CM1150V
Router: Netgear Nighthawk R7000P
When I am hardwired to the modem I get up to 850mbps but when I add in the router to get my wifi up, my speed drops to about 250mbps. When I do a restart I can get back up to 750mbps but that seems to drop back down after a few minutes.
It seems something the speed lost is coming when I introduce my router. I am still hard wired to the router now. Is there a setting or something that is limiting the performance or communication between the service and the gear? Any tips on how to get it working correctly? I feel like it is a setting I am not well educated on.
Thanks for any help or info!

What firmware is on the r7000p?
Try a factory reset and reinstall. during the install make sure to leave access control, qos, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled.
Thanks, I will attempt that....its been a while since I even touched it so I will have to read up on how to do the factory rest.
Pretty easy. push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. Then reinstall it.
