R7000 Internet Speed not the same as Modem
Hi all, Read through a few threads here about a similar issue, some are a little out-dated regarding the "preferred firmware" people have tested and gotten the best results with. ISP: Spectr...
Factory reset the router.
during the reinstall, make sure to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls disabled.
that router is 9 years old and needed cut through forwarding (ctf) to hit gigabit speeds. those services disable it.
so try that and then test the speeds.

Should the factory reset be done through the UI portal or the paperclip button on the back?
Which is preferred? Assuming both accomplish the same task, but I never know with NetGear sometimes.
Either should work. Its just to force the router to reset the CTF. Sometimes even disabling those services doesn't re-enable it and thats where the reset comes in.
Beautiful!
Factory reset is complete
Set the router back up with my usual settings
Made sure Traffic Meter, QoS, and Parental Controls were off
Now pulling down over 900Mbps and 50Mbps up over the wire
Thank you so much!
Edit: Also enabled IPv6 to Auto-Detect
Glad it took care of the issue!
A backup is a good idea now that you have it running the way you want 🙂
