Nighthawk X6 R8000 GB Speed issues
I have the latest Firmware. I have 1 GB internet at my ISP Modem-- tested at the modem. As soon as it goes through the router it drops to 220-250 MB download. Why is the Nighthawk reducing the sp...
Hi All,
I purchased a Nighthawk AXE7800 RAXE300 and transferred the configuration and bingo! 1GB download speed that I pay for, no problem. It was a great pick. Happy to share that. It also allows me to go up to 2.5 GB incoming download speed in the future.
So it confirmed that my R8000 had either firmware problems or hardware problems and was end of life.
Yes there was no point in taking the time to reconfigure it if it made not difference.
Try enabling ipv5?
What site are you using for testing?
What device are you testing on?
plemans means IPv6, not IPv5.
What is the model number of the Shaw modem?
Are you using the Ookla stand alone measurement tool?
Are you testing on a Windows device or what?
What is the model number of the Shaw modem?
Does not matter, and I would have to get that and I am not climbing up into my wiring closet to get that at this time. ISP tested with their direct meters on the Coax, on the Modem and on the router. The Coax and modem tests were exactly the same and then dropped on the router. Consist with the tests I ran on my laptop on multiple speed test.
Are you using the Ookla stand alone measurement tool?
No through the website, and we used 2 or 3 different speed test sites and compared to his direct monitoring tool. The only speed tests that were below the others was on the router.
Are you testing on a Windows device or what -- monitoring tool and then on windows laptop. Our testing matched on the direct connect and modem. Routers speed degradation was consistent with my laptop and their monitoring tools.

It does matter if you want informed answers. Otherwise all is guesswork.
If you can access its interface, maybe that will give you some clues.

IPv6 is disabled currently.
What option under IPv6 would be suggested?
I cannot see the image you inserted because a moderator has not approved it for viewing. If you attach an image, moderator approval is not necessary.
Check to see if you have an IPv6 option for DHCP, obtain from your ISP.
On your Windows machine, check the profile for your network. Should be Private as opposed to Public.
See attached image from Windows 10.
