Hi All,
I purchased a Nighthawk AXE7800 RAXE300 and transferred the configuration and bingo! 1GB download speed that I pay for, no problem. It was a great pick. Happy to share that. It also allows me to go up to 2.5 GB incoming download speed in the future.

Maybe, but how did you check that?
Don't rely on an app or a web browser and the graphical user interface to get it right.

Most recent firmware: V1.0.5.88_10.1.88
I also downloaded and manually updated it to be sure.
