R7000 Cap on Speed 100Mbps

Question

I have updgraded my internet service to get over 400mbps. I tested the speed out of the back of the modem, and it is well over 400 mbps. Then it goes to my r7000, and i am only maxing at 100 mbps. I have it set to auto select the fastest speed. QOS is off. I just did a factory reset. Still not getting the faster speed out of the R7000.

Any suggestions?

1. What modem/gateway do you have?&nbsp;2. What firmware is on the router?3. Did you check your cable? A bad cable or cat5 cable can reduce you to 10/100mbps link speeds and not gigabit.&nbsp;You can check your connection settings in the router to see what speeds its connected at.&nbsp;https://kb.netgear.com/24222/How-do-I-display-Internet-port-statistics-on-my-Nighthawk-router&nbsp;
