Netgear Nighthawk Router(R8300) not receiving XFinity Gigabit speeds. Speed throttled to ~530mbps
[ Spoiler ]
It should be able to hit gigabit wired.
Try factory resetting it back to stock.
Test it right from stock and see what speeds you get.
during the reinstall make sure to leave access control, parental controls, qos, and traffic monitoring off
OK, SUCCESS! Access Control was turned on and when I turned it OFF, my wired speeds jumped to ~930 mbps.
Now, what about the WIFI. Why does my IPHONE 12 MAX PRO, only get ~317 mbps. Should I at least get ~600??
What is the botteneck? Thanks!!
What actual link speed are you connecting at with your iphone 12? I know the Iphone 12 is AX capable but the R8300 isn't.
Link speed isn't the same as actual throughput speed. Depending on efficiency, the throughput can be 55-65% of the link speed (roughly).
