NightHawk R7800 upload speed
Hey all i currently just got my HFC NBN installed yesturday and im with optus
i have just added my nighthawk X4s R7800 router onto my net work and after some changes im getting my full
download s...
do you get the same if you use another speed test site? If you do, then I'm out of ideas.
if you modem is a Gateway (modem+router) you need to set it in Bridge mode and use the R7800 as router
okay will give that a try after dinner ya i got all the download right just fine with disabling QOS but uploads got me so lost ill get back to you soon
factory reset is that just the little button on back of router??
Okay i did a reset and without the nighthawk im on 54mbps down and 18mbps up on the nighthawk im on 50mbps and up 4.27mbps still runing no qos and on 1.0.2.62
you need to push in the hole at the back until the power LED starts to flash
Alternatively, you can use the WebGUI 192.168.1.1 and go to Advanced -> Administration -> Backup Settings. There's an option to revert to default values with an "Erase" button
okay did it by the erase and still no luck getting 92.91 down and 4.83 up :(
how are you testing? wired or wireless? If wireless you may need to "forget" the SSID and connect again to it
testing it via wired and use speedtest.net
Should i just be running it in router mode, AP or bridge mode??

Just setting to bridge mode now and will let u know
legend :D 92.23mbps down and 18.13mbps Up after changing to bridge mode
im i doing right by my HFC cable goes into the arris modem then WAN out of there to the optus box then port 1 out of there to my R7800
or can i get away without the optus box in the middle??
I don't know, try it. I suspect your Gateway in Bridge mode connected directly to the R7800 WAN port will work
okay thanks ya its running atm maybe one day ill try removing and try running straight off the Arris NBN modem
