R7000 Router EXTREMELY SLOW INTERNET
I'm having trouble figuring out why I'm getting EXTREMELY SLOW internet speeds through my Nighthawk R7000. Internet was buggy so I decided to call Spectrum to see why the internet was slow. They ra...
Thanks! That was actually part of what I meant when I said I had turned off the modem's wifi. The tech guy had me go into the settings and disable its routing functions and plug the ethernet cable from my router into the SBG's port 1 so that it would only act as a modem.
Firmware is currently on V1.0.9.88
My brother fixed the problem. He changed the router's MAC address to default and disabled QOS. Now getting 200+ mbps on my computer and 120+ mbps on my PS4!
turning off the wifi on the SBG*** (actual full model helps) doesn't disable its routing function. You could be in a double nat.

2 easiest options?
1. place the SBG in bridge mode. This disables its routing functions and it acts as just a modem.
2. place the netgear in AP (access point) mode. It disableds its routing functions and it acts as just a wireless/ethernet device.
You also didn't put what firmware your r7000 is on. Its another key factor. So far the agreed upon stable version of the firmware is 1.0.9.42. there was just a new one put out but so far I haven't heard much feedback on it.
If you do downgrade, make sure to do it over a hardwired connection and to reset afterwards.
