Nighthawk R8000 X6 Slow Wifi speed
Hi All
As above, I have a 900m/b connection but only getting around 500 down, but upload speed is fine at 120m/b. I am with BT and they say I am set at 980 download, but they can only check if I have the BT Hub installed as to what is happening in my home.
I have also bought a nighthawk extender ac2200 and using that as an access point elsewhere in my home. That is wired into the router and giving out 520m/b.
Is there any settings I can check on the router to see if that changes.
I have just done a factory reset on the router as it seems when I do a firmware upgrade, it affects speed dramatically, down to the 200's. If I reboot it temporarily went back up for a few hours, then went back down. The factory reset seems to reslove that though, but still not gettig anywhere near the speeds I should.
My sky box that has a gig switch in it and wired, is getting about the same speeds?

Which sky hub/bt hub do you have?
Many have their own integrated router and it can cause a double nat.

I don’t have my BT Hub plugged in, hence why BT can’t do a complete check in my home only the line.

Something is supplying the R8000 with an internet connection.
What is the r8000 connected to thats acting as a gateway?

Re: Nighthawk R8000 X6 Slow Wifi speed
What firmware is on the router?
Have you done a factory reset and clean install (not from backup)?
Make sure to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled during setup

Re: Nighthawk R8000 X6 Slow Wifi speed
Here you go 🙂
What firmware is on the router? Firmware Version V1.0.4.68_10.1.75
Have you done a factory reset and clean install (not from backup)? Yep yesterday, full factory reset and install, which did help increase the speed up to about 500 meg, but I have a 900 mb connection (I had 450 previously) BT say the line is fine.
Make sure to leave qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled during setup
Enable Dynamic QOS is off, traffic monitoring is off and no parental controls
Thank you

Re: Nighthawk R8000 X6 Slow Wifi speed
test with a hardwired in pc/laptop
try different sites as well. when you get >500mbps, some test sites have issues saturating the line.

Re: Nighthawk R8000 X6 Slow Wifi speed
I get that your speeds directly off the modem is going to be full speed. So test the router directly off the modem hardwired and not over wireless. wireless is going to have variable speeds and isn't going to hit those speeds regardless.
