New router installed today
Hey everyone, I'm not sure if I selected the right model but I bought this one NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Gigabit Router (R7000) I have a couple questions. I bought today the Ni...
Soo I ended up factory resetting the Nighthawk router and reinstalled everything and it worked like a charm the second time around !! I tried the QoS setting and it ended up slighty decreasing my download speeds but greatly reducing my uploads speeds so I wont be using that setting unfortunately. It did sound good in theroy though haha

The fact that it worked properly second time around could be down to the way you set the thing up. These things can be very picky about the order in which you do things. Get it wrong and the wrong box tries to take control of the network settings.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
Did you want me to stil do this even though everything is working fine after the second installation ?
Only if you still have problems that you are trying to fix.
If not, then, mark your problem as solved.
What speed is your Internet? Netgear says turn it off for really fast (~Gb) Internet, probably on the ground that you don't need it.
