R9000 Substantially slow Wi-fi, also slowing my internet
Hi all,
I've been experiencing extremely slow internet the past few days. I tried a variety of SpeedTests and when I was able to connect to the test server, I was getting around 2Mbps when I'm ...
PROBLEM SOLVED.
A OneDrive backup was taking up all of our bandwidth. Apparently this is a big problem with persistent cloud backup programs like that and Drive, although I've never had issues with Drive or Dropbox.
I have been getting very slow connection speeds. AT&T came out yesterday and put in a new AT&T U-verse network box. Connected two desktop PCs via ethernet cables. Download speed 50.5 MBPS, Upload speed 5.18 Mbps. When we plugged in the Netgear Nighthawk R7000, (purchased in March, 2014), the speeds on the two PCs dropped by half. Have repeated the process, unplugged, rebooted computers, pluged back in, etc. etc. Same results. Any suggestions?
You may want to try and factory reset the router you can back up your config if needed.

Why would you suggest a restore from backup? That is just putting the problem configuration back on the router. Why not do a new configure after the reset?
