My R7000 is being very slow
I'm paying for Cox gigablast and have a cox modem/router with an R7000 connected. I haven't enabled bridge mode yet, but I will test it eventually. I disabled QoS and the speed got way better for abo...
You are going to have a very difficult time until you choose to let either your Cox modem/router or your R7000 do the routing. It is an uphill battle until you put your Cox modem/router into bridge mode and let the R7000 do the routing or leave the routing to the Cox modem/router and put the R7000 in Access Point mode. Do a search with the term double NAT here on the forums.
Go to the downloads section at the top of the page, put in your model number and download the manual for the R7000. On pages 103 and 104 you will find detailed instructions on how to enable or disable the traffic monitor function.
The speed (capacity) test function in the Nighthawk application is inconsistent at best, otherwise simply poor. Recommend you use the Ookla application from either the windows or apple playstore.
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

I disabled QoS and the speed got way better for about a day, but now it's back down to 80 mbps (nighthawk app). I can't find how to disable traffic monitor on the web overlay, so any help on that front would be helpful as well. Can you guys help me with this and fix my speeds so I get what I actually pay for?
