RAX75 Nighthawl Speed

I have 500 Mbps internet service, but I am only getting about 135 to 140 Mbps. I bought a new modem, but that didn't solve the problem I am no thinking it my Nighthaw router.

 

Anyone have ideas?

Re: RAX75 Nighthawl Speed

1. what modem do you have? 

2. are you testing speeds wired? wireless? over 2.4ghz or 5ghz if wireless? (hint, 2.4ghz is slow)

3. what client are you using for speedtesting? 

4. make sure to test hardwired into the router and test using speedtest. try different servers. 

5. what firmware is on the router?

Re: RAX75 Nighthawl Speed

Hi, Luckily, through hit and miss I now have my 500 Mbps. I became frustrated and tried to change one of the setting to Multi-Gig funciton. Well that blew everything and I couldn't get internet. We did a router reset and finally after several password resets got the 500 Mbps.

Thanks for the help.

My Modem is a Surboard SB8200

Test over Wired
Using Speedtest.net for testing speed
Firmware was up to date.
