Slow WiFi Speed on Nighthawk R8000
Hello, i have Comcast Blast Internet 150MB. My setup is a Netgear N600 Modem/Router with wifi disabled and my Nighthawk R8000 plugged into that. My direct connect wired connection to the N600 gets 18...
It turns out the problem was attributable to Comcast. They symptoms made it appear that it was the router, but Comcast determined it was their exterior lines and they put a filter on the line coming into my building and that took care of it. Now I'm getting 180mbps through the both the Nighthawk router and the Xfinity gateway! Thanks.
Hi sblomeke,
If you wired a computer to the R8000, what is the speed?
Hi sblomeke,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
I also have the same problem. Wifi downloads up to 30 mb/s when my ISP speed is 200 mb/s. I'm using a cat5e cable to connect the router to the modem. Plugging directly to the router gives me full speed.
