R6700v3 Slow Speeds

[TristanX]

I am gettin REALLY slow speeds since the last firmware update. Iam currently on firmware V1.0.4.122_10.0.95. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd start with a factory reset and reinstall. Don't use a backup. 

If that doesn't help, then I'd try downgrading the firmware a version.

I have the same issue.  R6700v3 V1.0.4.122_10.0.95.  I pay for 750mbps and only get 250mbps download max with this router. I tried reinstall firmware, tried factor reset. Tried removing power to everything and powering everything back up (with time delays) in proper order from modem, router, to computer.  Still no luck.  I know the modem is good because I have another older router that atually gets 750mbps. Also tried disabling QoS (disabled by default), turn off Access Controls (disabled by default), Turn off Traffic Meter (disabled by default). I am at a loss. Very frustrated with this router now. Loved it, now hate it.

Any other ideas out there?

I can go back firmwares until the issues goes away (if it does). Haven't tried that yet. But it is a huge time waste.

What is interesting, is if it is set as an Access Point it actually gets the 750mbps! But when it is in router mode it does not.

@alchle I'd recommend starting your own thread. Both because you're setup might be a little different, it helps netgear to have more awareness of the issues on the .122 firmware, and it keeps your info from getting confused with the OP's. Thanks

Thanks. I created another thread with the other details:
