R7000 Speedtest slower than ISP ad and direct modem gets, affects all wired and wifi devices
Hi all. First post here...I think. So I purchased this router a few years ago and never got around to setting it up. I'm reasonably good with tech in general but networking is a weak area for me. A f...

Yes, R7000 AC1900. I was wrong in the original post. It is the 8 year old model because it sat in a closet for 3 years after i got it as a gift. And that makes total sense about CTF/...it definitely seems as though its stuck in a permanent QoS on mode. I guess I could try latest firmware, see how it runs and if things are still bad do a reset?---You can try just installing the firmware and seeing how it works. It might still need the reset. Or is that a bad idea?---always worth a shot, worse case is the reset. Like should I immediately update fimware to latest let it reboot and then shut off QoS----yes, try the update and make sure those are off. I'd turn them off first and then update firmware. It it doesn't help, then try the reset. and (all the rest are already off) then go into admin and erase cfg? Ugh. Really not looking forward to getting some of these cameras and lights set up again.---If you use the same ssid/password, they should auto-reconnect. If I use the same SSID and Wifi password most things SHOULD connect. But all the wired devices wouldnt have any problems correct?---Shouldn't. I should mention two of the wired ports do go out to netgear port switches but they are passive and I have never had any problems with them.
Also, since you mentioned it. If i cant get these thing going faster with update and reset, what router would you recommend that is similar that can easily handle 500d/23u and that has the easiest set up features like this R7000 was?----Most of the newer devices should manage those speeds wired (provided they're gigabit and half decent). Wireless is a different matter as those tend to be the device itself that is the limit and not the router. because when I used my original SSID and WiFi pw and settings just about every device reconnected. I had to reset a couple of cameras and lights..and mabye a vacuum. lol. Thanks again.
