ok so i put the nighthawk in AP mode and now the internet is working while my pc is plugged into the nighthawk. Speedtest shows my download at 100mbps when i pay for 1000mbps. removing the ethernet from the nighthawk to the docsis keeps internet, however im also slowed to 100mbps

check your cable.
Also, check the qos on the modem/router combo device. The netgear in AP mode lets the modem/router handle everything.

cables are all snug as a bug, the modem i was provided with has no qos settings also.

Check to make sure your cables are cat5e, cat6 or greater.
not just that they're seated.
What speed do you get directly off the modem/router?
