r7000not going full speed
i have a modem input speed if 665 Mbps, but I cannot get the switch ports to go wired into my laptop faster than around 80 Mbps. The ports say they are rated at 10/100/1000, so should go ti 1 GB, but...
i find newer FW listed, but when I download it, I get a .chk file and not a .img file. support won't talk to me nor will they do anything about newere firmware.
mine router is at .126 and the latest is .216.
what a mess.

That's right. Netgear uses both extensions. (Heaven only knows why, could be the chipset.)
If you read the manual for the R7000, it has a .chk file for firmware.

That should be 1.0.11.126 and 1.0.11.216
You are five versions, and three years, behind the latest.
Just another user with time on their hands.
