R7000 Nightnawk | Getting half of my Spectrum subscribed speed when hardwired through router
Hello everyone, I have an R7000 Nighthawk. I have the 400Mbps package from Spectrum, and when my desktop computer is hardwired into their Modem (EN2251) I am receiving 450Mbps or higher. The issu...
did you ever factory reset and test if from the defaults?
problem with having qos/access control/traffic monitoring/parental controls enabled is that they disable cut through forwarding. Its the service needed to hit gigabit speeds. And I've seen it get disabled because those services were on but not get re-enabled when the services were disabled. So try a factory reset. Test it from its default speeds.
plemans First off - I want to say thank you, as I have seen many of your other posts on other threads with similar issues. I have yet to Factory Reset the device. Would you suggest going back to original / changing firmware prior to Factory Resetting? Please note that I am on the latest Firmware.
I would try it on the version you're on first. there's been a lot of firmware updates since the version that we (on here) consider the most stable. And for most people, it works fine.
What actual version number are you on?
(V1.0.11.134_10.2.119) is what it has at the top right of my Router's webpage
I had ot download that version from Netgear's site as it wouldn't update automatically to it for some reason.
Factory reset did it. Pretty dumb that Qos & Traffic Meter continue to kneecap your speeds even if they are disabled.
Appreciate your help plemans
Glad it worked!
A backup is always a good thing to have for next time :)
When you save a configuragion backup, it is also a good idea to annotate in the file name the firmware version installed when the backup was made. In general it is not good/succesful practice to restore a backup to a different firmware version than was installed when it was saved.

I've noticed that even without gigibit speeds (I'm running 100Mbps) allowing cut through forwarding reduces jitter and improves my VOIP quality. I'm wondering if also turning off WMM (which is a form of QoS) would enable cut through forwarding on wireless traffic and reduce jitter.
