NightHawk R7000 Connected to Netgear CM1100 , updated Firmware v1.0.11.116_10.2.100, slow Net speed
Hello all , I have an issue with getting data throughput close to what my current plan is. Here is the scenerio. I am with cable provider Sparklight. I was on a 100 mbs plan but recently upgra...

Not the latest. And "latest" and "best" are spelled differently for
a reason.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software
Downloads, look for "View Previous Versions".) Find the kit(s).
Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions. (In the User Manual, look for "firmware", and,
especially, for a topic like "Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".)
When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
> Cables - ALL ETHERNET CABLES ARE CAT6
Tested?

Not the most obvious conclusion.

That's _one_ definition of "speed", not _the_ one definition of
"speed".

No, they're speeds. And they're certainly _not_ "volume".
The usual definition of "volume" implies a unit of measurement like
"gallons" or "cubic feet" (or liters), which are not specific to liquids
or gases ("air"). Any _rate_ (quantity/time), such as "gallons per
minute" (obviously _not_ a "volume") or bits per second, qualifies as a
"speed". At least it might to someone who doesn't think that "gallons
per minute" describes a "volume".
So, the magnitude of a linear velocity is a "speed", but the
magnitude of an angular velocity" is _not_ a "speed"? And such a
definition is useful _how_, exactly?

Sure. Where "tainted" means "usefully generalized". If you want to
waste everyone's time by getting all pedantic, _without_ generating
laughter, then it might pay to make some sense.
Yow.
Thank you..
