R8000 throttles LAN speed
Hello, I have been researching this for a couple days and wondering if there is something else I can do before a factory reset on my router? I have multiple devices connected to my router and it ...

1. make sure qos, parental controls, access controls, and traffic monitoring is all disabled and reboot the device. then try it
2. Most of centurylink's devices are modem/router combo devices. without an actual model number its tough to tell in your case.

3. Sometimes a factory reset it needed. Make sure to follow option 1 if you factory reset.
Thank you for the info plemans .
1. I did this first thing and no luck.
2. It is a C3000Z modem/router. I didn't think of this, I will look into this and see if this is where the issue lies.
3. I was hoping not, but I will try that after I look into the NAT and if this doesn't fix it I may just get a different router.
*Edit- I was also thinking of using the Century link Modem/router as the main router for my wired network and using the netgear as a wireless AP.
Trying the factory reset is a decent option. for some of these routers, ctf gets disabled when traffic monitoring, access control, parental controls, or qos are enabled. And disabling the services doesn't always re-enable ctf. That's where the factory reset can help.
You can always make a backup configuration, then reset and test it. If it hits full speeds. that was the issue. If it doesn't, reinstall the backup configuraiton and work on the double nat setup. (or work on the double nat issue first)
