Very Low Download/Upload Speed with Nighthawk R7000
Hello All, So, I recently upgraded to Gigabit internet as a company finally ran lines in my neighborhood. At first, things seemed totally fine. Straight out of the gate, going to my PC and runnin...
Hey FURRY,
All ONTs provided by this ISP are Nokia branded. I believe the model on this is Intertek 5015579 although there is no obvious model number listed.
The patch cable between the modem and router is Cat6. This is another possible solution I will be testing once I receive the new router.
Everything I do is wired.
We have 4 devices connected (2 phones, a Desktop and a PS5). I always check my router's current connections, and no one has ever connected via WiFi besides us. I've done loads of testing with my desktop being the only device connected to the router. I just ran a speedtest while connected to the Nighthawk and got 348 Mbps down and 10.8 up which is my high for the day. I then ran a test connected directly to the ONT (with the same ethernet cable) and it showed 849 down and 936 up. I'm not connected to any VPNs and the router is currently running with factory default settings after resetting it this morning.
Are those speeds your seeing and testing with using the onboard speed test app on the router or a external speed test app on the PC like Ooklas installable speed test app?
Only items I found that can cause a slow down thru the router is having Armor, Circle or Traffic Meter enabled on the router. Also found that the onboard speed test app doesn't give accurate results.
