R8000 cant reach 1000mb
Hi all, i have upgraded to 1 gigabit fiber and connected a cat 5e frome the fiber to eth receiver. When i test the speed from the router i can only download 230 mb. In netgear document it written that...
1. what modem/gateway is it connected to?
2. what firmware version are you on?
3. how are you testing speeds? don't use the built in speedtest on the app/gui. Use one hosted on a hardwired pc/laptop. Reason why is the built in one doesn't always choose the best test server
4. Make sure qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls are all disabled. If you'd had them enabled and disabling doesn't help, factory reset the router. Then during the reinstall (not from a backup), make sure to leave those services disabled.
