R7000 Nighthawk speed limitations
Paying for a 400MB service (and am able to verify that what's coming out of the modem)- but am not able to get over 100MB download. Searched internet and found others have same problem - reported...
that is not my firmware - I'm running the latest per the Netgear website - but if you watch the video I posted - that network engineer reports faster speeds by running older firmware (which I'm not able to do, as my router finds them to be incompatible)
I am testing at both 2.4 and 5 GHZ

To me, that post, from Aug 2020, smells of what is technically known as b*ll*cks.
There may be more reliable advice here:

Anyone seriously keen to backtrack to old firmware should try it in stages. Go back a few versions at a time. That is a variant on the advice to jump forward in stages when a new version won't stick on an old device.
