Nighthawk X6 R8000 not getting gigabit speeds
Hi so I recently got a nighthawk router because i was upgrading my internet to gigabit speeds and I wanted to get the best experience for it but i havent been able to get close to 1 gigabite speeds. ...
I tried to set the speed manually, restarted the router, still getting max 200bps.
It's entirely sad that we can't get basic support past 90 days from Netgear.
After buying Netgear products for at least the last 15 years, time to find a company that supports it's product better.
I can get support from Asus on their motherboards years past the initial 1 year warranty, that will be my next router.
I performed a factory reset and reinstalled my settings that I had backed up. I then disabled Dynamic QOS has recommended in some of the prior post.
NOTE:
Make sure you go the your internet settings under "Internet IP Address" and check "Use Static IP Address". This worked for me - gigabit speeds kicked in after I applied the settings (doing this may work without going through the factory reset)
