NightHawk CAX 30 slows until Factory Reset or config restore
I have experienced this issue with this router since buying it at Costco in July 2021. My firmware is up-to-date with version 1.4.10.8. I do not have any special port forwarding or access control con...
Maybe try a wired speed test like we suggested?
I understand you don't have a hardwired device.
try borrowing a laptop or picking up a usb/ethernet adapter.
Did you look at the screen captures? Did you see I am testing from the modem and from a laptop through the modem at the same time? Did you see both test results shown on the same screen capture?
The speed test is not the problem.

Yep. I did see that you're using the built in speedtest. Which isn't always accurate. which is why we ask to test a hardwired in device.
I'm happy to sign off this thread though.
good luck.
Hi,
Yes, this was explained previously that the console speedtest is not necessarily reliable since we cannot control the destination speedtest server.
I also explained that I am simultaneously testing from a laptop through the modem hitting a controlled desitnation. The speedtests are conducted in pairs. The points of the test show:
1. That results are comparable, regardless of console testing versus testing from a laptop to a controlled speedtest destination.
2. The strange behavior is reproducable, regardless of the test origin - console versus laptop over wireless.
3. The srange behavioir I am testing for, is not simply that I end up with slow data rate, it is that 1, the rate drops over time from a reset, and 2.) the rate can be immediately temporarily fixed with a factory reset or reload of the backup configuration.
Any observations on these three points to share?
