Netgear R6100

I just moved and have set up a new internet service, when i plug my computer directly into the modem I get 200 Mgbs download speed. When I go through my R6100 router it caps it at about 80 Mgbs(Wi-Fi and wired, I am also the only one using it and standing right next to it). How do I fix this?

Note- It worked fine at my old house and put out the proper speed.

Hi @EXPLOSVO,

 

We recommend getting a router with higher specs since the R6100 only has fast Ethernet ports (10/100) and will not go above 100Mbps on WAN side.
