Nighthawk r7000 slow wifi and even slower ethernet
Hello, I recently bought gigabit ethernet for comcast xfinity, and my motorola mb8600 pulls a steady 500 mbps download when running a speed test directly connected to it, but its a single port modem....

fast.com-360A lot of speed testing depends on what site you're testing with. When you get >250mbps speeds, a lot of the servers need to be able to handle it. You've put that you're hitting 500mbps directly connected to the modem. You're hitting full speed on xfinity which is a good sign as it tends to be able to saturate the full speeds.

So what should I do?

You're hitting full speed on some of your test sites? Specifically the ones that are ran by the isp and most likely to be able to supply the speeds? If so, then I'm not sure what else you're wanting as its hitting those speeds.
if you're worried you can try upgrading to the newest 1.0.11.100 firmware, factory resetting, and re-installing. Or you can try downgrading to the 1.0.9.42 version, factory resetting, and reinstalling.
