Nighthawk won't accept 1GB speeds
Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Firmware version V1.0.9.88_10.2.88 Nighthawk is in Router Mode. I have AT&T Optic Fiber with 1GB download speed. Before I got the 1GB speed, I had the 100 Mbps which...
So I went to the manufacture of both my computers and it's comfirmed that I do have gigabyte internet card in both computers. I also made sure that my drivers were updated too.
I even checked the specs on my Xbox but all I could find was that Xbox One has 600Mbps. I have Xbox One S so it should either have 600 or more.
I think I am now done messing around with this NightHawk as it no longer puts out more than 60Mbps. It was a good router while it lasted and I have used it for many years.

Gigabit.
Assuming that "internet card" actually means "Ethernet card" (or,
these days, more likely, "Ethernet chip"), then that's related to your
wired-network speed, not to your wireless-network speed.

That's a gateway (modem+router), not a "modem".

What was that "modem"? Was it actually a modem?
Rather than cascading multiple routers, you might configure the R7000
as a wireless access point.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router as a
Wireless Access Point".
Even my wired speed is low. It's limited to 230Mpbs.
You are correct.
ARRIS BGW210-700 is a gateway. I am used to calling it a modem.
My NightHawk is already setup as a wireless acces point and it's all I have ever used.
I do have the user manual and already read through it.
