Nighthawk X6 R8000 Slow Internet Speed
Anybody else having issues with speed after the firmware upgrade to 1.0.4.84 that just came out?? I have 1GB internet speed and before the firmware upgrade speed test would show between 920mb and 96...
Factory reset is an absolute last resort. I did find the issue. I had to uncheck Access Control. Netgear needs to fix their routers firmware. There is no good reason that having access control checked should slow speeds from 900+MB to 250MB. This leaves my network extremely vulnerable as I cannot decide to allow or block a device. This should be considered HIGH priority to correct and maybe a defect in the product.
Access Controls do no effect being vulnerable.
