Nighthawk 7800 and 1 gig internet

[arbopa]

Have this router.  All cat 6 cables.  Just got 1 gig fiber.  Speedtest in router service software shows 900+ down and 700+ upload.   Actually going to a speedtest and lucky to see 500 down and up never get's past 10.  

Latest firmware installed.   Did a factory reset to the router.  No settings changed except renaming the wirless... but this issue is on wired connections.

Ok, guess Netgear folks are not monitoring, or have no solution.

Will sell off their stuff and find one that actually works.

I have a R7800 with the latest firmware (ver 1.0.2.40) and 1 Gbps down and 50 Mbps up cable service. I regularly see 920 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up when running Speedtest.net to my local ISP from a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection at 6:00 am local time.

QoS is off.

if i skip the router and go straight to the modem, the speeds are there. That's how I know it's the router slowing things down.

Yes, I know how to google search, those items are all off.   Now can netgear provide a solution?

Your link has NOTHING to do with my question and situation and gear.   If you do not have an answer, just say so.  I was hoping netgear actually monitored this site to provide support.  Perhaps I chose the wrong vender and need to drop them forever.  IDK.   Seems someone that makes routers would make routers that work.
