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.

All tests done wired. I don't do any speed tests on wifi.
All those settings have always been disabled
It is connected to a shaw modem.
with the ISP we tested on the model at 1 GB -- plugged directly in
Plugged directly into the router -- top is 250MB
Already did a reset and made not difference.
has latest Firmware
You tested after a factory reset without changing anything? directly from the router in its default configuration?
Yes there was no point in taking the time to reconfigure it if it made not difference.
