Slow download speeds
Hello, I have a r7000 router for my 1 gbps connection but I can´t get the full speed in wired in my company router I have full speed in speedtest.net I usually have 200 to 500 mbps I tried to downgra...
Yes my company router is in bridge mode and r7000 in router mode.
I believe that the R7000 may not have HW CutThrough handling for 1Gb ISP services. The 1000Mb on the RJ45 ports is a connection rate only of the Connection between the phsyical cable between the modem and router. Data throughput is different. If you did a full factory reset and set up from scratch and didn't enable QoS, Traffic Meter or any access controls and can't see near 900Mb+- non a wired speed test, I presume this router may not support it. I believe the R7800 does.
I can´t see any higher speed than 450 mbps with all disabled, qos, trafic meter and circle.

Probably time for an upgrade.
One of the things folks overlook when upgrading Internet service is that the existing equipment might not be up to the task. I would think that the r7800 called out in previous message would handle it. Install Voxel firmware and should be good to go. Just make sure that what you get you can return if it turns out to not be up to the task.
