Router not receptive to potential speeds
In short, I am a gamer looking for optimal performances. I have 800mbps download speed through xfinity which was a recent upgrade. I have attempted all of the common fixes, restarts, factory reset, tr...
Try version 1.0.4.28 of the firmware. Install using a browser based method of install.
If you have to, leave the modem disconnected during setup and skip the internet setup. Then it won't auto-update.
Then you can disable the auto-update and connect the modem.
Sorry for the delay.
#1 and #2: I went back to the earliest version it would accept and was going to progress towards the newest after testing them. I installed V 1.4.0.12 and it essentially rendered my router useless (routerlogin.net/IP not working & no signal). I resorted to a factory reset and when going through the automated nighthawk app set-up, it required me to update the firmware to complete. The only thing I haven't tried was using the installation disk for the factory set-up to see if that would let me use the firmware it came with. I am still willing to mess around with firmwares as it could have just been a bad install (just a guess).
#3 I will only use one port on my modem as I have already learned that lesson lol. Was just doing it to see if the speeds would be different.
Thanks,
Brandon
