R7000 v1.09.14_1.2.25 slow download speeds

Like others, I have slow download speeds with the night hawk.

 

I have Comcast Blast which is rated for 200Mbps download.

At the modem (CM600), I get 239 Mbps down.

Wired ethernet port on the R7000 and I get 111Mbps down.

 

Connection statistics show the Wan Port as 1000M/Full, Lan Port 1000M/full.

 

QOS is disabled, but I have enabled it and updated the database.

WMM is currently off.

Speed test under QOS tab is 198Mbps down right now, but there are people online right now. 

 

Still, 198 dropping to consistently capped at 111 is sad.

  • I did some further testing and found a bad cable <rolls eyes>.  I am now getting 240 through the R7000.  In the immortal words of Emily Latella, "Nevermind".
