Nighthawk R6700v3 Speed Issues
I bought a Nighthawk R6700v3 last summer and I have not been able to get the speeds that I am paying for. Currently I am paying for 1Gb download from Cox using a Modem/router device that they su...
do you have access control, traffic monitoring, parental controls, and qos all disabled? if not, disable and reboot the router.
I'd potentially even try a factory reset of the router and reinstall with making sure those are disabled.
Another thing you can try is the technicolor in router mode (disable its wifi) and try the R6700 in access point mode.
fyi, you won't hit gigabit speeds over wifi. but you should be able to wired if the settings are correct.
- I understand that on the wifi speeds, I only mentioned them because they run faster than the Ethernet. (Probably cause of WMM).
No access control, traffic monitoring, or parental controls. The only qos that I have enabled is WMM on the 2.5 and 5.0 GHz bands, other wise both bands are < 50-100Mb in speed tests. Is there any way to disable these without making the wifi unbearably slow?? I have already factory reset the router in an attempt to fix this issue (that’s when I discovered that disabling WMM crippled wifi speeds). I have not tried the technicolor in router mode with the nighthawk in AP mode, I’ll have to give that a shot.
