My internet connection is 300 mbps but my router is doing 49 now?
I thought it was the modem, but speed test shows that without the router, I'm getting between 317 and 343 mbps. With the router, it was 80. Then I unplugged the router and got the solid orange globe....
Didn't invent it. I found it as a possible solution. I was getting over 300 mbps just 48 hours ago.

Measured how? You may be able to measure 300 Mbps on a local wifi connection, but not out to the Internet.
According to the Data Sheet, the LAN ports in the R6080 are "Fast Ethernet" and can't go faster than 100 Mbps.
The R6080 is a bottom of the range router, even so it is amazing that Netgear produced a device that slow in 2017. If your Internet speed is faster than 100 Mbps, your only option is to replace the router.
