r8300 is Only getting 2Mbps
Roommate has this router, and is only getting <2 Mbps on speedtest.

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)..

I DID, and if you read my info, that is NOT how they are set up. The modem has a line going to each router, they are NOT behind one another, so frankly that message seemd moot. Any other suggestions?

That does not fix the problem.
The C700 modem does not exist.

...? The description you send of double NAT required the routers to be behind one another. They are not. Obviously this doens't fix the problem or I wouldn't be on this forum in the first place. If you have a better description of what I can do besides just telling me it won't fix the problem (once again, obviously) then please share because clearly I'm not getting your point.

And my apologies for forgetting a letter. It's a cm700.

Quick self edit there. First it was a C7000 now it is a CM700.
I will leave you in the hands of Google:
How to Connect Two Routers on a Home Network
How do you connect two routers to one modem? - NETGEAR Communities
Or more:
two routers on one modem - Google Search
Sadly, the answer remains the same.

God forbid people make mistakes? At least I double checked.
And if I wanted to only be in the hands of Google I would have statyed there and not come to a specific forum. Please get off my topic.
