that would be acceptable speeds. And we were getting more than what we are now. That is why it seems like a firmware along the way has caused a problem. I have reset the router a couple of times and before doing anything it still isn't there but hovers at 220-250 MB not close to what we pay for.
Access Control is and has always been disabled.
Traffic meter is and has always been disabled.
Not sure where to find the Circle/SPC -- can you elaborate where that is.
Your link said you went back to a older firmware, where do I find that version to try -- I looked on the website and did not find the older firmware.

Circle maybe seen on older FW on the routers web page, however seen in the Nighthawk app on newer versions of FW as Circle was moved to Smart Parental Controls.

1. Router on the modem is disabled or bridged so the modem is only operating in Modem mode. They know we have our own router. And that has been working fine.
I just had them here to reconfirm the configuration and run the tests with me.
2. does not apply (see 1 above)
3. We have it setup properly. Thanks for confirming.
the Circle option I believe is off as we have the parental controls off, and don't see anywhere to set it.
I am going to change the Firmware back to the one in your post -- and see if that helps -- 1.0.4.62
thanks @michaelkenward for your suggestion, However we prefer to manage routing on our own routers rather than the ISP's modem/router. We then have full control of the router capabilities.
I appreciate and agree with you on simpler is always better.
Backed off the to .62 -- the speed went up to 450MB which is better but still not where I would like to see it. Maybe this old "girl" Just can't keep up with the modem (newer tech)

Makes sense. In which case, a new router might give you even more control. But as you aren't looking for a wifi source you can eliminate routers that come with all manner of bells and whistles. Flashy wifi capability and control is the last thing you need.

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.
