Nighthawk AC1900 Slow wired speeds
Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router. Firmware V1.0.9.18_1.2.27 Windows 10 After installation (jan 8, 18), leaving everything at their default settings except login password, WiFi name and password...
I went ahead and "paper clipped" the router and based on signal strength as measured by TIVO things improved considerably. I'm now at 50% which I've never seen before. My hardwired speed has not changed either. SweetSpot measures 86 Mbps @ nearest laptop, to 19 at the TIVO. I can live with that...
Thanks for all the help.

Today I ran a speed test and my direct connect speed has dropped by half.
For clarification, is that speed that you see with a direct (wired) connection to the router, or with a direct connection to the modem?
Do you have QoS active?

FYI my computer wasn't restarted during this so it cannot be blamed on the OS.
That could be the problem. Its network configuration may be scrambled. What happens if you restart the PC?
When setting up a network, Netgear recommends starting 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.
