i just signed up for frontier fiber with 500mbps up and down, but am also finding that my r7000p is limiting download to 220 and upload at ~300, for both direct ethernet and wifi

i had frontier come out and check the speed directly into both their handheld meter and into my computer from the fiber ONT modem and it was getting close to 600mbps in both directions, so the r7000p is the bottleneck culprit

i have been running firmware version V1.0.0.44_1.0.27, so i upgraded to the most recent v1.3.3.148 and my speed went DOWN - download went to 175 and upload went to 200 - so i went back to V1.0.0.44_1.0.27 and my speeds went back to 220 down and 300 up, still less than half of what i should be getting (and what the router is purportedly capable of)

someone mentioned an asus, i may try one to see, but there is no doubt in my mind that the limitation is the r7000p - wish netgear would update the firmware to increase speeds instead of making them worse!
