SpeedTest reporting 1/3 of speed that SpeedTest reports, how come?
I have a 1Gb service from my provider, and when I run the Speedtest (https://beta.speedtest.net/) I see 925Mbps down. Great. But when I'm on the router admin tool and trying to run the QoS Speedtest,...

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
There maybe a bug in the onboard speed test app vs using a external speed test app on a PC.

Hello. Thank you for the reply. I have just upgraded the firmware (V1.0.4.76_10.1.82), but have been experiencing this for the past six months or so.
The Rogers Modem is a....Technicolor model CGM4140COM. Does this help?
re bug with onboard test
Seems like something Netgear would know about and be looking to fix with subsequent firmware updates?

What mode is your modem working in? Router or Bridge mode? Your modem already has a built in router...
Ya if NG is aware of it they would come out with a follow on FW to fix it. If your getting to spec speeds with external apps, You'll be fine for now.

Great question. Bridge mode. The Rogers modems as routers have a less than stellar reputation, and I prefer to have my own dedicated router as well.
