Slow speeds
My nighthawk is now up and running but is still is running at the same speed as my century link router. Is there anyway I can up the speed? I saw on here you can change the firmware but that was from ...

Also, what centurylink gateway do you have?
What speeds do you pay for?
What speeds do you get hardwired into the centurylink gateway?
And from your netgear router?
And how are you testing your speeds? wireless (and what band)? Wired?
Details are important for us to help

I’m testing my speeds with the nighthawk app on my phone.
It says I have 1.22mbps download and .72mbps upload. I read on the internet that it’s suppose to be at 25mbps but the app still says 1.22 is moderate.
My century link router is called a 80211n. On the router it says 2.4g so that might be what your talking about with hardwired speeds.
I can’t tell you what we pay for because I’m the only one that uses the wifi in the house.
I asked my mother for information but she said she didn’t care because she doesn’t use it.
If you could tell me if I need anymore information I’ll try to find it.
