NetGear R6700v3 Slow speed
I've seen this issue in other posts and web, but with no resolution. Scenario: I have R6700v3 router with firmware V1.0.4.122_10.0.95. I pay for 750mbps and only get 250mbps download max with this ...
Seems like the new Firmware Version 1.0.4.128 is holding up so far with me getting 475mbps on a 500mbps plan for wired..
Hello all,
So, I've been working with NetGear ever since this post began. They sent several test firmwares that I tried and glad to say (after multiple long nights of testing, submitting debug log files and resetting network) they came up with one that is giving me the 750mbps! Screenshot below as proof. Hopefully, they will be releasing it soon so you all can enjoy the fast speeds. The test version that worked was V1.0.4.129_22.9.24. I cannot share it as I signed an NDA.
One thing I learned is that whenever doing a firmware update, always, always do a factory reset after updating. I know, it sounds weird and like it should only apply when downgrading, but after many many updates and reverting back to V1.0.3.66_10.0.50... factory resets are needed in both directions. It's painful to re-add all my static IP addresses and settings, but it is needed.
Kudos to NetGear. They came through!

That is not the best advice around. It can case unnecessary hassle for most updates.
A reset is not need most of them time. It is, though, something to try if you have problems. If your router is not delivering the expected speeds for example.
