R6700 Slow LAN Speeds (~215 Mbps) With Firmware 1.0.2.16
Hello, I recently upgraded my ISP speed to 600 Mbps. I'm getting very close to that speed when plugged directly into my Netgear CM600 cable modem. However, through my Netgear Nighthawk R6700 rout...
After the upgrade and firmware changes did you ever do a factory reset?
Make sure to do a factory reset and a clean install (not from backup).
Make sure to leave access control, qos, traffic monitoring, and parental controls disabled during the install process.
Fyi, you won't hit 600mbps over wifi with that router.
Thank you. I will give that a try and let you know.
Thank you so much plemans! I think that did it. I'm now getting about the same speeds that I got when I reverted back to the initial release of firmware, except now I'm on the latest firmware version. About 500 Mbps (564 max) through the router, and about 350 Mbps (384 max) via WiFi.
That's about what I would expect given the age of my laptop and phone. I'm very happy that I'm now breaking the 215 Mbps barrier!
Thanks again and blessings,
Gary
