    for anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future; disabling IPV6 fixed all my issue. looking at the description of ipv6 that makes no sense, i can't see how that can cause any issues.. but apparantly it did. if you have an xbox one (potentially other consoles) just disable ipv6 and try again

lol its all good dude, i know how it goes; but its not the case here, pretty sure my xbox is either almost dead, or some setting specific to netgear is throttling it. but my laptop is getting ping in the 20's + of - situationally. 
 
is there any settings that effect performance besides the usual settings found on most old routers? 
 
 

What firmware version do you have on the device?

V1.3.2.134_10.1.66

as far as the modem, sorry; i thought i had that in the subject. its another nighthawk modem, only one port. i was hoping getting modem and router from same manufacturer would be a safer bet.

 

i got an approved modem according to my isp.

 

thanks for your time
