Nighthawk RS500 Trage download snelheid !
Ik zou 250 Mb van mijn ISP moeten krijgen en ik krijg draadloos en ook via de kabel maar maximum 90MB eruit...
Kan iemand mij alstublieft helpen ?heb al vanalles geprobeerd maar niks lijkt te lukken om mijn volledige snelheid te krijgen...
You were right!!
I tested it with a new cable and now I get my full speed from my ISP!!
Thank you for the help!!
Best regards,

Might help posting in the correct forum for your region/language. I used google translate on yours.
Usually if you're only getting 90mbps, your connection between the Rs500 and the modem/gateway its connected to is only connecting at 10/100mbps speeds and not gigabit. Try a new cable between the 2.
Excuse me sir
I write now in English..
Okay I will test this, thank you very much in advance.
If it works I will let you know!
Sorry, wasn't trying to be rude with the language comment. There's sections for multiple languages so the mods can help if needed. Not everyone uses the "google translate" option. :)
A good page that can help check the link speed is the wan/lan port statistics page.

Glad it was a simple fix and it didn't take more effort! Might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it.
Again, sorry if my initial post came off as rude. Was just trying to point you in the best direction for help.
