    There's not much in there to go on.

     

    What is this "1.2G". The fastest speed that your router can deliver over a wired connection is 1 Gbps. Wifi will be a lot slower  unless you have the fanciest wifi clients going.

     

    What firmware version do you have on the device?

    A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

    If there is one it might also help if you told people the make and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT that sits between this router and the Internet. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?

    I ask because a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.

    Apologies for all the questions. But you can help people to help you by providing the information suggested in this forum's header:

     


    Subject (Include model number and brief summary)
    Model (Recommended - Helps the community give the best answers)
    Body (Include additional detail including model version, firmware, OS and environment where relevant.)

     

    They are there for a good reason.

      So I’m running v1.0.11.136_10.2.120
      The 1.2g is what I get at the modem which is higher than advertised I’m actually around 1.4g.
      The Modem/router is Xfinity XB8-T. Yes it’s modem/router. With 3 1G ports and 1. 2G port. So I recently connected the R7000 as a bridged device. I’m getting now around 300mbps max. But now I can’t log into admin. Going to try ping so that I can get ip address due to fact that it changed.
