r8300 is Only getting 2Mbps
Roommate has this router, and is only getting <2 Mbps on speedtest.
For some background - we have 75Mbps internet, coax is connected to the modem which has an ethernet cable to the wall. That ...
Any specific reason for operating to routers at all?
Forget about crappy bridge or repeater operation modes, as you have a nice in-house network cabling. Keep all routing on the R7000, and operate the R8300 as a wireless access point (if really required)..
The modem is a Netgear c700 - modem only and not provided by the ISP. The r8300 router is on firmware version 1.0.2.130, just checked last night for updates. I double checked to make sure channels were not overlapping and right now the r7000 is creating a 192 network while the r8300 is creating a 10 network, so no overlapping IPs.

That does nothing to fix the problem. It is irrelevant if you have to routers on the same network.
I repeat, you need to sort out the double-NAT issue.
Please go back and read ALL of the message I posted.
