Nighthawk AC1750
Since the day I purchased my router (a year before), I have been getting speed around 150 mbps even though I had a plan of 400 mbps from my ISP. All these days I thought the issue was with my ISP. ...
You have the R6700?
What modem/gateway is it connected to
How are you testing speeds? Wired? wireless
What device are you testing on?
If you have qos, traffic monitoring, parental controls, or access control enabled, disable them and reboot the router.
Those services require packet inspection and the R6700 doesn't have the cpu to do packet inspection above certain speeds.
You have the R6700? - Yes
What modem/gateway is it connected to - Netgear CM100 Multi-Gig Speed cable modem
How are you testing speeds? Wired? wireless - Wired (~750 mbps) Wireless (~250 mbps)
What device are you testing on? - Tested wireless using speed test app on my iphone as well as desktop.
If you have qos, traffic monitoring, parental controls, or access control enabled, disable them and reboot the router. - all are disabled.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you for your help.
I'm in the same boat and have been reading a lot of threads with a similar problem but not finding any good resolutions so will be following in case you hit upon what is needed!
Quick question: How were you able to downgrade your firmware to V1.0.3.66_10.0.50? I did a factory reset last night but it just reset back to V1.0.4.122_10.0.95.
Just changed our ISP from Xfinity to RCN and am supposed to be getting 1gig speeds. When I plug ethernet cable directly into computer we get around ~800mbps but speed tests over Wifi are only getting around ~200mbps.
So, probably a similar setup.
- Right, so I am also trying to get this issue resolved. I hope to get atleast close to what I am paying for.
To downgrade, I used routerlogin.net
You need to login to your router
Find the firmware version V1.0.3.66_10.0.50 online, extract the .chk file from the zip file of the firmware
In the router login page, go to wireless - advanced tab - administration - router update.. choose the above .chk file and upload - then apply.
Then it would take sometime to downgrade and then you need to again create a password I think.. set up security answers.
At one point you would be asked if you would like to upgrade the firmware to the latest version, just select no.
I guess these instructions will help.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Good luck!
- Hi there.. sorry to reach out to you again, just checking if you were able to see my response to your question. I am still facing the speed issue and if you can help me further, it will be really helpful to me.
Thank you once again.
