I am currently on Firmware V1.0.4.128_10.0.104 and I do not have any features like parent mode, guest network, or traffic meter on. I am paying for 1gb from Astound Broadband and am getting 920-940 wired to my modem. However when I am not wired to my modem and instead am wired to my router (NightHawk r6700v3) I am getting 170-200 mbps which is an insane difference. On wifi I am getting 120-140 on 5.0ghz and 40-60 on 2.4ghz. I am lost here, I had thought it was a ethernet cable issue but after testing the same ethernet cable on the modem and router I have realized it is not.

Any other ideas out there to fix this issue?  

 

Thanks!

 

A couple of configuration items to check and test.  Disable QoS and enable IPv6.

 

After you make and save changes to the router configuration, power the router completely down (pull the adapter cord).  Wait a couple of minutes before your power it back up.
