Netgear R7000 isn't up to speed on a gigabit connection through CM1000 modem
Hi, I recently got a Netgear CM1000 modem on my gigabit Xfinity connection. When I hook my laptop up to the modem directly I am getting close to a gigabit connection, at least above 900 Mbps consi...
I have figured this out. I have been measuring the speed uing the Netgear UP app on my phone. Turns out the app doesn't measure speed correctly. I kept getting 2 - 300 Mbps. I finally hooked up the old fashioned way to the router and got 950 Mbps! So the problem is the UP app which clearly is buggy as far as speed goes. I will report that problem separately.
Is QoS turned on? You don't need it at that speed.
Other things that people have tried to fix this issue with various devices:
- Check that you have the latest firmware for your device
- Try a factory reset, especially if you have new firmware
- Ensure that the cable from the router to the modem is up to the job
- Check that you have the right internet settings for your ISP (especially MTU)
- Turn off the Traffic Meter
That's generic stuff picked up from earlier conversations.
Hi,
I will go through these procedures. One thing I have noticed though is that Circle parental controls cuts off 100 Mbps of speed, but I can live with that if I otherwise get closer to the gigabit connection speed.
