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...
Agreed! I noticed keeping the access control functionality disabled as well keeps the speeds as expected.
Not to bump an old thread, ran into the same problem as everyone else... I forgot to turn of auto update and got lousy speeds after not noticing it for a while... rolled back to 1.0.3.66_10.0.50 and everything is good. I mean WTF... you have to roll back to a 2 year old version to get proper speeds?
Did you disable Access Controls and Traffic Meter after doing a factory reset on current version of FW?

Yes, I turned both those off, although I never really saw any speed drop with them on..
- When performance of a router is measured NOT with “fastest” but with “slowest”, there’s an obvious problem.
Indeed: that the three-year-old firmware is “better” than the latest and greatest (and the difference between 458mbps and 46mbps is NOT small!), it’s time to change brands, which is exactly what we did.
Thanks Netgear!
