R7450 NIGHTHAWK Router Internet issues
Hello, I'm currently experiencing internet issues with my R7450 nighthawk router. My home internet speed is roughly 60Mbps and usually has 6 to 8 devices connected to it. Not all of these devices wil...
Currently I use a modem that is provided by CenturyLink internet provider. As far as I know my r7450 is up to date on the newest firmware. I believe I have qos setup. I have my gaming pc set to the highest priority and all the other devices in my home set to the normal.
The qos I setup though didnt seem to work. My wired gaming pc was receiving less internet speed than the wireless laptops. I checked this by doing speed test on the devices and also seen this in my in game ping.

An actual maker and model number would be more helpful than where you
got it. Is it actually "a modem", or is it a modem+router?If your (unspecified) "a modem" is actually a modem+router, then why
are you using an R7450 with it? Do you have client devices connected
directly to your (unspecified) "a modem"?
> The qos I setup though didnt seem to work. [...]Do you think that anyone here can see what you did? "seem"?
- The model number for my modem is C1100z. Zyxel is probably the maker of this modem. The modem does have routing capabilities but I currently have that disabled and have the r7450 nighthawk router doing that job. I'm not sure what you mean by client devices?

"disabled" how, exactly? Does the WAN/Internet interface of the
R7450 have an external/public IP address?> [...] I'm not sure what you mean by client devices?
Computers, and so on.
