Nighthawk R7000 Slow wired speeds Verizon Fios
Hello, having issues with wired download speeds with my R7000 Nighthawk on Verizon Fios. I removed the Fios gateway, and have the Nighthawk router connected to the WAN from the ONT. I have a Actionte...
I did a reset of the ONT. No dice, still had slow speeds. So I did a factory reset on the Nighthawk. After comgin back up, I was going through all the settings and lo and behold, the IPv6 setting was disabled. I set it to auto-detect and after updating (showing as 6to4 tunnel), I am now getting close to gigabit d/l and u/l. No idea how or why it was disabled, but that was the problem.
Just a suggestion in case you have not already done so. Power down both your R7000 and your ONT. Power up the ONT and give it plenty of time to restart and stabilize. Restart your R7000 and let it go through the boot process. Check your speeds.
The ONT may have some settings specific to the Fios gateway. A call to Fios tech support may help.
