RS700S V1.0,7,96_2.0.96 slows speed
Hello again. I downloaded RS700S V1.0.7.96_2.0.96ck and as a result, my download and upload speeds slowed down. It continued even after I updated all drivers on my OS and reset my RS700S to factory s...
Hello to all.
I spoke with netgear yesterday, 01/28/2025 on how to update the download and upload speeds in netgear RS700S. Netgear had no answer.
Well, I figured out why. To update download and upload speeds, you sign in to 192.168.1.1.
Then select QoS. To update the download and upload speeds, you must first turn on QoS. Then run speedtest,
then Apply. Now you can turn off QoS if you want. I should have done that before calling Netgear.
Thanks, Matt
So this fixed the speed issues then?
I had to enable QoS before I could update download and upload speeds in 192.168.1.1.
I had to roll back the new firmware V1.0.7.96 because it was slowing my internet speed.
Did you try a factory reset and setup from scratch when v1.0.7.96 was loaded?
Was Protection Engine enabled at the time?
Hello. Yes, I did a factory reset while having V1.0.7.86. Then I installed V1.0.7.96 firmware and did a factory reset again. But my speeds slowed down and fluctuated. So, I rolled back to V1.0.7.86, did a factory reset and my speeds returned to 1250 and 1260Mbps.
Thanks, Matt
