I tired every conciveable possible solution but I could never reliably find a fix that would correct the problem it would magically work sometimes and then it would drop to like 200... then i turned back on the Armor protection and whalla .... back to 950 and all my wireless speeds went back to normal as well. I shut it off back to 200, turn back on 950 where is has remained ever since, with armor off always 200 with armor on 950. Netgear states that Armor should not have anything to do with it but all I know is with it off 200, with it on 950, reproducible every single time. There is ZERO question with my connection (could be Comast wouldn't suprise me, they are scantless). Try, if you experience the same thing maybe they'll stop calling me crazy.
Let me know when you get to constant dropped and poor signal reception I've got the fix for that as well. Thanks to a Super User.. he nailed it.
I enabled Armor after paying for a subscription, but it made no difference. Just FYI.

I recommend you contact NG support and let them know what your having problems with. You may have a faulty unit.
