R7000P and Frontier FIOS 500/500 slowness
`So I've had the R7000P (AC2300) for a while now with Frontier FIOS 150/150 here in Southern California, and recently upgraded to 500/500. I'm running straight ethernet directly from the ONT to the W...
Version 1.3.1.44 was the version that supported netgear armor rollout.
I'd actually try the version prior to this as many device had issues with the initial rollout of armor.
Try factory resetting and manually re-installing the router.
I've found that sometimes the qos settings can be retained even when you shut it off.
Give this a shot first and let me know how it goes .
So I performed the factory reset of the router, and re-setup the router. No such luck. When running speedtest on the router I get 249 DL / 205 UL, when I run speedtest.net using Chrome from a MacBook connected to the router and no A/V, I get 157 DL / 300 UL.
So...I'm still stuck same place. Obviously, my firmware did not roll back with the factory reset.
- Factory resetting only removes the settings. You can try downgrading the firmware

So, I downgraded to Firmware Version V1.3.1.26_10.1.3 and here are the results:
speedtest from router: 350 DL / 350 UL
speedtest from Macbook connected via Wifi: 225 DL / 500 UL
So, that's definitely better but Im still curious why Im not pulling closer to 500 DL at the router.
