X6 R8000 Speed
I Know that some threads have been about this subject before - But none of the solutions I have been able to implement.
Problem.: I have my router R8000 X6 in bridge mode i have a connection 1GB/1GB and my fiber "modem" is in bridge mode. Useally I have been able to take cabled out around 950MB/950MB cabled directly from the Router.
By coincidence I Speedchecked and found out that I am only getting 350mb/350mb. I called my internet provider and we troubleshooted and found out that delivered speed is OK - But putting the Nighthawk R8000 in bewteen cost me a lot of speed - This has not been like this before?
Firmware version is: V1.0.4.66_10.1.75

I have tested cables and everything - The speed is "dissapering in the router" !
I would be please for any help - Please be as instructive as possible - I am good troubleshooter - but not a netowrk specialist!

You have the R8000 in bridge mode?
In bridge mode the r8000 uses its wireless to just connect to the primary routers wireless. It doesn't rebroadcast it like a repeater.
So what actual mode is the r8000 running in?
If it actually is in bridge mode and so is the isp's gateway, the isp's gateway wouldn't have a wifi to connect to (bridge mode on a gateway is different than bridge modem on a router only device)
What gateway do you have from your isp?
Thanks for picking up on my thread much appriciated !
My ISP modem is in Bridge mode. My netgear router is normal router mode and has been so for years - I just happen to nocyice that spped has gone down as described above. Today I check and troubleshooted that se spped reduction is made with in the R8000?
The speed loss is seen on cabled connections - But the ISP is delivering normal speed 1GB/1GB ??
Any helt would be appriciated !What ISP gateway is it?
Do you use access control, traffic monitoring, parental controls, or qos on the R8000?
If you do (or ever did) factory reset the r8000 and manually reinstall it (not from a backup). during install make sure NOT to enable any of those services.
