R6700v3 New Firmware Slow Speeds
Hi. I have a Netgear 6700v3 connected to a Netgear CM600 modem. I pay for 300Mbps download and 30Mbps upload. I usually get 300-340Mbps download during speed tests. I noticed recently that I was...

Much the same way as one might download new firmware.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Downloads. (For older versions, under Firmware and Software

Download the kit(s) you want. Read the "Release Notes" file for
instructions.
Same issue here. Currently pay for 1G Fiber AT&T Internet and after router installation (and most recent firmware upgrade) was only receiving 300-400mgb Down. Took the advise to downgrade to firmware V1.0.3.66 and now receiving ~750-800 for hardwired devices which is to be expected. Extremely dissapointing Netgear has not resolved this issue and as a result cannot have the most recent firmware installed to maximize performance.
Update: Hope this helps other folks. Must be a bug in the firmware (so annoying).
- Installed newest firmware
- Factory reset all settings
- Enabled QoS applied settings (Downstream + Upstream)
- Disabled QoS (Downstream + Upstream)
- Also disabled SIP ALG in WAN tab (as I noticed I was experiencing issues with WIFI Calling)
- Reset router
Outcome: I'm now consistently getting 700-800 down with hardwired devices on my AT&T Fiber 1GB Plan
