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.
I loaded v134 the other day and is working so far:

Hello everyone,

The issue is that when I setup my network as ISP>Modem>Router>etc I am receiving around 270Mbps. This is the speed I am receiving when hardwired into the router, not wireless.
This issue has persisted through updating firmware (currently on the latest (V1.0.11.134_10.2.119), removing QoS & Traffic Meter, enabling IPv6, and removing all port forwarding. I bought a different an Arris SurfBoard 588200 Modem and had Spectrum enable that device but the connection was so volatile (speeds ranging from 100 to 370Mbps, constantly changing) that I swapped back.
I'm at the end of my rope. I am unsure what to do next and am requesting assistance. Please someone tell me there is an fix for this nonsense.
