Help with optimal settings on Nighthawk R7800
Hello folks;
I just received my new R7800 Nighthawk X4S router and i configured it and set it up & i updated the firmware to 1.0.2.38 which is the latest and it works but i noticed the speed im getting now with the new router is less than 27 Mbps while with my old TP Link was around 60 Mbps. I did setup both 5 GH & 2.4 GH and tried few tweaks but nothing helped. Whats the optimal configurations for my new router so i can get the highest speed performance? Please provide any tweaks needed to get the max out of my new router
Thank you in advance
Its because its not Netgears original firmware, although its built on it. Voxels firmware always shows this, I guess there is some check in offical firmware to say its the latest so you can use the built in update feature for new offical firmware, but its fine and you can ignore that message and update to Voxels.

With out knowing if thats your wifi and which band or your wired lan ports hard to say why the different.
Have you turned qos and traffic monitoring off that may help do not know what speed your paying for even.
My QoS is off and I'm not monitoring. My original speed from my ISP is 60 Mbps and it was always around 60 Mbps when i was using my TP Link router until yesterday. I'm talking about my Wifi and not wired connection.
I found the solution. I had to do a full reset and then updated teh FW and that fixed the issue. downgrading the FW did not help so i had to go back to the default settings.
Thanks for your help
