Nighthawk X6 R8000 not getting gigabit speeds
Hi so I recently got a nighthawk router because i was upgrading my internet to gigabit speeds and I wanted to get the best experience for it but i havent been able to get close to 1 gigabite speeds. ...
When you downgraded to v62, you would need to not configure QoS at all. I didn't configure QoS or enable it on mine. I left it alone. Also Armor, Circle were NOT enabled either.
I saw at leaset 3 days of good speeds with v62 loaded:
I've turned OFF traffic meter since I saw a slow down with v76 FW loaded and will check to day to see if anything slows down again on the WAN to LAN speed side.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

OK I tried the old version with the same results. If I manually enter 1000 down and 100 up stream it stays for awhile. Nexy day I have to re-enter those parameters. Going back to the latest firmware like others have stated better security and no difference in holding my inputed specs. There has to be a reason Netgear isn't doing anything about this. I can't be the only one this is happening to.
Ok so after disabling Traffic Meter the yesterday, over 900Mpbs is still holding good: v76
Will let this configuration run this week and monitor speeds each day.
