Tested speeds are half of what i should be getting
I recently got cox fiber and signed up for their gigabit service. They installed one of their netgear routers (R6300) and i was getting 917 download and 860 upload of off speedtest.net. I didnt want to pay rent on their router so i bought the RAX80. After installing and running another speedtest on speedtest.net i am now getting about half that speed. Its around 550 download and 750 upload. Runnig the speed test through the router under the QoS tab is giving me different numbers. The speeds are 912 download and 677 upload. I have the QoS turned off. Not sure what else to try. Any help would be great.
Thanks, Spencer

Re: Tested speeds are half of what i should be getting
Try turning qos back on. I had issues getting half of my gigabit speeds until I turned it on. On one firmware, I had to leave it enabled and on another, it was able to turn it on and then back off. Not sure why. The firmware is still a little beta in my opinion.
Another thing you can try is are you using it with ivp4 or ivp6 enabled.
What firmware are you on?
