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...
It's the firmware, The current firmware throttles your speeds to less than 200mbps. I'm not sure why Netgear hasn't addressed this issue. Personally I think it's garbage that they aren't doing Sh!t about it.... I had to revert back the a previous firmware to get my speeds back to the 1gig that I have.
I have the same problem. What firmware did you downgrade from? I need to do the same.
What Fw version are you using?
Since the OP first posted this, they were on v106.
I see v118 and v120 thats most corrent:

If v106, try v102 or something prior to v106.

I downgraded to V1.0.3.66_10.0.50
It's been a couple of months since I last checked my speeds, as long as I'm getting 700 and up I'm okay with that. I'm just irritated when I upgraded the firmware that it went sub 200mbps. Right now I don't trust the netgear firmware and I'm looking for other router options. I think its best for my situation as I work from home and need the bandwidth to do work.
