R6700v3 Wired Connection ~200Mbps
I bought this router in January 2021. After I set it up, the wired speeds tested out at ~800Mbps. So, I know it was working as expected and that was before I upgraded to the 1200Mbps package. I re...

No. I will try that before the factory reset though. Thanks

If any of these suggestions don't seem to help, you may need to revert back FW to what had been working.
That is non-starter for me due to security concerns. Unit is defective if I cannot maintain max speeds with latest FW
ok..I am perplexed...
1. Power off the R6700v3 and removed power from the CM1000V2 modem for 1+ minutes. Powered on the modem until all the LED's were green, then powered on R6700v3. Same result ~200Mbps.
2. R6700v3 factory reset. 738Mbps... much progress!
3. Enabled ipv6. 902Mbps... Yes!
4. Changed the SSID's and passwords back to what I had previously. ~250Mbps.... WTF?

I think #4 was a fluke. I am now back up 800+Mbps the last few tests. I will test again in the morning

Speed tests aren't as "scientific" as you might think. They depend on too many factors.
When I want to have fun, I run a sequence of half a dozen tests on different sites. They can deliver results that are all over the place.
