300 Mbps is pretty good for many wif clients.
If you use the Nighthawk app to test speeds, that also uses Speedytest/Okla in the process. The app may connect ti the router with wifi, but all it does is to tell the router to test the speed of its connection to the modem. It is effectively the same as a wired test through the router.
yes I have the latest firmware.
Famous last words. That won't convince many people without telling is the version of the firmware.
First of all for your final last words, firmware version.V1.2.0.92_1.0.1
And second I've tested it with both the Netgear app and also just using the speed test app on its own and I'm getting the same results from both. So it's got to be something in the router that's not letting get the results that I subscribe to. I have a friend who has Netgear router and Spectrum modem and only the 300 service and he's getting 350. I know you can't compare apples and oranges but I should be getting more than 300 on my service.
