Nighthawk R7800 wifi downloads much less than they should be
Hi. I just recently updgraded Time Warner/Spectrum Internet from 50Mbps to 300Mbps. Purchased new Netgear CM700 modem and connected to my Nighthawk R7800. From router Genie console to modem / from la...
I googled "xbox one max Internet speed" and found out you are getting excellent speed to your XBox 1. Take a look at this:

My step son is getting 100Mbps by hard wiring into my old R7000 that I have set up as a bridge in his room. The R7000 is supplying 340Mbps to his laptop when it is wired to it. I have both my main R7900 and bridge R7000 setting up about chin level and about 35~40 feet apart with two walls in between them.
If you want better speed than you currently have you might want to pick up a R7000 or go to COSTCO and pick up a R6900 on sale for $139.99 until 2/28/17.
If you are on Windows try using "tracert twc.com" and see what the output looks like. You should be getting less than 100ms on all hops. Most of mine are in the 30's with a few over 100.
I usually get about 350 over 5G to my laptop but am only getting 240 today for some reason. Maybe Internet congestion.
I think my stepson has been getting about the same throughput with his PS4 as you are getting with your XBox.
Have you always been getting this speed or is this something new? I wonder if you are client restricted and not router restricted?
Hey. Thanks for replying, LeeH. Before upgrading my service from 50mbps to 300mbps, my laptop and Xbox One were both downloading in the 40's range. Once I upgraded my service, ethernet connections were 350's. I tried not to assume wireless was going to be as fast. But, my results are underwhelming with under 100 to 150 on my clients. So, I feel like I'm router restricted. I'll try the tracert tonight and let you know. We do have a PS4 also. I could try that too. Any other recommendations are defintely welcome. Thanks again.
