I, sadly, feel as though I am repeating the same issues that I had last year.
I spent the last week trying to figure this out using the netgear forums, reddit, and other messageboards all with no luck. I just got a Nighthawk S8000 switch and have been unable to get higher than 300 megs(often between 150-200) download.
My information:
CM1000 Modem
R8000 Router
S8000 Switch
Gigabit Internet service (Xfinity/Comcast)
PC has a gigabit compatible port for ethernet
My modem gets the gig speeds when directly connected to my PC. When I connect my modem to my router, and my PC to my router, I get gig speeds. However, the S8000 switch I can't seem to break the 150-300 meg range.
I have tried all 7 ports on the switch, I have tried 4 different cables, I updated to the newest firmware (v1.7.1.0), I have tried a factory reset via the interface, I have also tried a hard factory reset using the button on the bottom. The speeds are the same every time. I event went back 1 firmware to version 1.7.0.7, and no luck.
In the interface it shows the 1000M speeds on the ports when set to Auto, but those speeds are not actually being received. I have tried speedtest.net and xfinity speedtest.
Re: Issue with GS808E - Nighthawk S8000 Switch Speeds
Honestly, I’m not sure. I still haven’t figured out my issue. It’s the strangest thing. You could try factory resetting the switch, there are also a bunch of guards about the speed from the switch. But I’m still cab that are on 450 MB download

I'm honestly not sure what to do at this point.
Try to change your modem hopefully this will work for you
