X4S R7800 Throttling LAN ports
Hello, I noticed the other day that my network and mesh wifi system were running slow when ever I would watch youtube videos they would drop in quality and get extremely pixelated and I would hav...
I don't use the MESH system as router since I have some port forwarding settings that I need.
I had a Motorola MB8600 originally but they swapped it out to one of theirs since it was not reading right on their end.
The one they gave me is a DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA EU2251
I swapped out the ethernet cable already.
Wifi I am getting good speeds its only hardwire where it's throttled.
I have not done a factory reset on it since I didn't want to lose my port forwarding settings but I can do that as a last resort if no other ideas come up.

R7800 in router mode?
Mesh in AP mode?
If not, expect problems.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR SupportSorry I missed this yes the mesh system is in AP mode or Bridge Mode. Everything was working fine till about a few weeks ago when I noticed constant drops in video quality when streaming. Both my PC and the Mesh system get about 140ish down instead of 500.
The WiFi if I enable it on the R7800 and connect to that gets 580 down which is a huge difference.
