CAX30 Slow Internet Speeds
Hello all Need some help please. I recently decided to get my own modem instead of renting one out from Xfinity. I got tired of their XB7. I bought a brand new Nighthawk CAX30 (AX6 AX2700) about ...
I got a Halloween boo in that my issue is eerily similar.
Yesterday I brought home a brand new Netgear Nighthawk AX6 AX2700 router from
COSTCO (Firmware version 1.4.10.8).
I had a 500 Mbps Internet + TV with WOW.
Swapped out their WiFi router with the above. All checks out OK - still getting 500 Mbps+ speeds.
Called them to drop the cable TV and increase the speed to 1 GB (internet only).
No difference in speedtests.
I see that many different factors can come into play. I have a 1GB Ethernet 5 port splitter connected to one of the ETH ports out of the Netgear. In my office, I have my Linux box connected vai ETH.
Tested the speeds via dslreports/speedtest - both show abysmal speeds (~200 MBps).
The Netgear Android Phone App shows ~450 Mbps download speeds. From the router
login page, I get similar results. I tried both 2.4 & 5 GHz with simialr results.
All I want to know is how to verify that I am getting my money's worth from the ISP.
Thanks for all your help in advance. Have a safe happy Halloween!
