Router speed
My internet speed through Spectrum is 100 Mbps. I have a brand new modem from Spectrum. My wifi router is a R7000P Nighthawk AC2300. My question is when I plug the Cat6 cable directly into the modem,...
Reset the router to factory settings. Rebooted everything and speeds are running 117Mbps plus.
Thanks for all the help. Paul..............
Greetings pault963
ok, read your PM's. Your on 1.3.1.44 and had all 3 options I mentioned enabled.
If you subscibe to speed above 75MBits and do not have people in the home consuming massive amount of bandwidth, QoS is not needed.
Traffic Meter, great feature, used it for years to monitor usage/consumption in our household. Well, it became broken in newer FW, and has remained so last I checked. It affects multiple models and spans many FW's.
Smart Connect - Not so smart, works more like a load balancer, and may put faster "more capable" devices on a slower bandwidth connection. I suggest disabling and using a separate SSID for each broadcast. You can also tune your network by selecting a channel other than auto. See my reply here for more info on channel separation and performance.
Hope this helps. Let us know how things go. If you continue to have issues we might advise reflashing th routers FW using manual update instead of automatic or via the Genie App, both of which have been known to cause issues or undesired.behavior.
