Netgear Nighthawk R7960P Not Allowing Full ISP Speed
I recently increased my Internet speed through my ISP to 500 down / 50 up, but my Netgear Nighthawk is throttling my download speeds. I'm maxing out at about 300 Mbps down. Upload speed is fine. P...
A couple things to try
If you have the R7960P, you're not on the most recent firmware. Its 1.4.1.64
You can try installing that version. Do the factory reset/clean install.
If that doesn't help, try the firmware version prior to netgear armor. Not all devices played well with armor. That'd be version 1.4.1.44
I'll definitely try that, thank you. It is indeed an R7960P. My apologies, I thought that I was on the latest firmware. I tried forcing the update throught the GUI, but it just says that there are no updates. I'll try manually applying it via a factory reset and clean install. If that doesn't work, I'll try the earlier version of the firmware you suggested. Thanks again for the suggestions.
