R7000 Speed issues

Good Afternoon, 

 

I have noticed that over ther past month my WiFi has been dropping and the speed is not what it should be. 

I have Xfinity 75/10 speed. 

 

When I checekied today I was getting between 3-18 downlaod speed.The odd part is that upload is always 12.

I reset everything and it did not improve. 

 

I thought a firmware update would be the best choice. I was unable to do an automatic update. The online portal kept telling that it could not connect to the netgear servers. 

I downloaded the file from netgear and I am now on Firmware Version V1.0.7.10_1.2.3

 

I still have the same issues hardwired to the router or via WiFI.

Direct connected to my modem I get 80 d/l speed. 

 

Are there any setting in the advanced section that I can changed to pass through the full speed?

 

 

Thank You 

James

    Thank You very much all for the support. 

     

    This mornign I went through more firmware changes to no avial. I went back to verify that to the modem was still good, it was not. 

     

    I called xfinity, they had to make a change on their side, noting that I needed to get up to date firmware from motorola on my modem.

     

    All is well.

      I forgot to note, 

       

      I did a full reset after the firmware upgrade did not solve the problem.
