Netgear X6 R8000 (AC3200) Speed test speed not being achieved in real world downloads
So my I've been struggling with my internet speed for a while, I was paying for 350mbit and only getting 250 tested on speedtest.net and around 26-27MB/s on steam downloads. Kept using it in that sta...
A fix to this seems to be making the superhub in router mode, setting up dmz on the netgear ip (might be redundant), then setting the wireless AP in the netgear settings, I think the reason it broke last time was because the superhub in modem mode cant provide any information about the ip the netgear router needs to form an AP.
I've tried placing the router in wireless AP mode and that rendered it useless (ethernet connection to it displays no default gateway and it doesnt show any wireless networks) till I hard reset again, I've also tried placing the hub in modem mode and with that I cannot change DMZ settings. Still getting the same results but now peaking at 24mb/s instead of 16mb/s, something to note aswell when I try doing a speed test with a download going on It says 19mbit and around 20ms increased latency.
Also im not sure if it is a problem of a double nat as I never experienced any of the symptoms related such as difficulty with vpns, port forwarding, and accessing ssl websites.

Any AP mode configuration needs a upstream router for the AP mode device to work properly.
