R7000 wired and wireless speed issues
I have 100 MBPS internet service, tested on multiple devices, both wired and over WiFi, when connected to my ISP modem/router. However, when I connect to the Netgear R7000, either wired or WiFi, the ...

I had enabled the QOS features previously and those were still enabled prior to the reset, so that may have been contributing to the issues.
Thanks for your help!
