Nighthawk R7000 WAN capped at 100MBps in AP mode
Hi, hope someone here can offer some assistance. I have looked through all the similar threads I can find but have been unable to resolve this issue. I have an HFC nbn 250/20 connection set up l...
couple things to try.
Grab the one with slower speeds. Move it and direct connect it to the linksys with a known good 6ft cable.
Maybe you have a damaged ethenet connection on the router.
I think the r7000 had an wan port mirror option in the debug menu. Try going to the routers ip address with debug.htm at the end.
for example: 192.168.1.1/debug.htm
I believe you can mirror the wan port to lan port 1. If the port was damaged,this might get it back to full speeds.
Thanks for that - I'll give it a try
- let me know how it goes
No joy mirroring WAN port to LAN port 1 - functionality is there but it didn't make any difference, still 100MB. Thanks for that tip though - was worth a try.
I also tried connecting to a different (wall) port I have up in this room, also no difference.
Tried both of the above with a different cable, with restarts in between, no difference.
I still need to try connecting directly to the Linksys router with a short cable. Will report back.
