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 really rather not buy an expensive router if the chances are that it's just firmware. With that said, what are the chances this will be resolved with firmware? Has anyone had any luck rolling back to a specific patch?
I tried running FreshTomato for a while and that seemed to fix it. As soon as I went back to Netgear's firmware, the problem started again. Netgear really needs to fix this, this shouldn't be a problem for an expensive router like this
- Does tomatoFTW work for it still? Besides that, has anyone had luck with past firmware versions?
So far my "bypass" is using QoS manual settings which as others experienced will revert to slow speeds again.
