Cant reach full connection speed while using X6 R8000

[geekabit]

Recently i have upgraded my fiber internet plan from 400/60 Mbs to 900/135 Mbs.

Sadly i cant take any advantage 😞

When I'm connecting through my X6 R8000 (PPPoE)  instead of a direct connection  - i cant reach speeds higher than ~230 / 120 Mbs.

When i use a direct connection from my computer (also PPPoE) i can expect around 400-500 / 120-140 Mbs.

Any ideas what could be the reason ?

what firmware version are you on? 

did you ever have qos, traffic monitoring, parental controls, or access controls enabled?

If so, I'd start by disabling them and rebooting the system. if that doesn't help, try factory resetting the router and doing a clean install (by clean i mean not using a backup configuration).

My firmware: V1.0.4.68_10.1.75

i havent touched settings that you mentioned.

After I did factory reset my connection speed got back to normal ~ 720/115 Mbs :)))

What shows that message?

If you can get into the browser graphical user interface (GUI) there shouldn't be anything to get in the way.

For light relief, try this:

This DFS Channel is not allowed to use becase the ... - NETGEAR Communities

Thanks a lot, but i managed to change SSID and password by changing region from Europe to Australia and backwords.
Its a messy workaround but it works for me 😜
