RS700S not delivering 1.5Gbps
I recently upgraded my modem and router so I could add more devices and get higher speeds. I purchased the Netgear Nighthawk CM2000 cable modem and the Nighthawk RS700S Wifi 7 router. According to th...
It depends on which device you were performing the initial speedtest from. For example, if you were doing it over WiFi, speeds will vary. If your desktop/laptop doesn't have any multigig ethernet ports, you won't get speeds over 940 or so. For example, if I am in the same room as the RS700, my Google Pixel 7 Pro can get around 1300 Mbps download and 1600 upload on the 6 GHz connection.
If you want to get faster speeds, you need to get a multigig ethernet port for your devices. Also make sure that they are compatible with 6GHz wifi. Just note that even if you do, you might not get the desired speeds if your CPU can't handle it, so you will likely need to buy a new device.
Thanks! I found that of my four client devices, only my iPad Pro M2 has the capability to receive higher than 1 Gbps. I set it to 6GHz wifi and moved the iPad within a few feet of the router. The speed was 1,011 Mbps so making progress, but still far away from the 1,652 Mbps coing into the router. Any router settings I should check?
