Nighthawk X6 AC3000 (R7900) Speed Not Reaching 500mbps
Hello I am located in Texas, USA. I have the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3000 (R7900). I recently updated my internet speed from 300mbps to 500mbps. When I tested my hardwired internet to my desktop...
I want to try and avoid a reset for now. Is it really the only option when once upgrades speeds?
I checked my current setting below.
QoS is NOT enabled.
Access Control is NOT Enabled
Traffic Monitoring: I don't see a specific setting for this but all traffic is allowed at all times
Parental Controls is DISABLED
Kindly let me know if you have any other ideas...
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
If this fails, you'll need to factory reset and setup from scratch. Do not load a saved configuration from file.
