My router is choking my internet speed

Hello Folks,

 

My router is slowing down my internet speed.

 

I have a 400Mbit/40Mbit setup, and have verified that speed at the modem.

 

But on the router side it is choked down to 160Mbit.

 

I am running firmware 1.0.4.120_10.0.91.

 

Is there a reason, or a fix for this?

 

Thanks,

1. what router do you have? 

2. what modem/gateway do you have? 

3. make sure qos, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls are all disabled and reboot the device?

I have the R6400v2.
Cable modem DOCSIS 3
None of that is on.
It was working at the specified speed and now doesn't.
I am guessi g when I did the firmware update, that broke it.
Now I can barely get 200Mbit throughput.

You might try updating to the latest 1.0.4.126 firmware, then doing a factory reset and reinstall.
