Slow internet with Nighthawk R8000 using a DM200 Netgear Modem
Hi, I installed a R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Smart WIFI Router with a High-Speed DSL Modem (Model DM200) to replace a BT Homehub, and I seem to be getting slower internet. Help would be appreciated, thank you.
The DM200 is a 100mb max modem what was the internet speed you had before and what internet speed you have now?
Here is the manual for the modem http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/DM200/DM200_UM_EN.pdf
The R8000 router should be able to handle upto a 1gb connection but the modem will not.

Hi TobyMiles,
If the computer is directly connected to the modem is the speed faster? If yes, try to set the DM200 to bridge mode.
