I have a R7960P Router and I am getting 800 mbps when i am plugged into the router with ethernet. However, I am getting just 150 mbps through wifi. My internet provider says I should get 90% of my speed through wifi. Any suggestions?
I do not have Dynamic QoS checked off
I am on firmware V1.4.1.68_1.3.28
Secondly...I can log into my admin account through my computer - but for some reason the App will not accept the password - why would this be? It was working before I did a firmware update...and it stopped working
Model: R7900P|Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri Band WiFi Router

And that app is? Nighthawk? iOS? Android? Version?
Local wifi access or remote (Anywhere Access)?
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
I'm gonna spend some time to educate myself. What i find odd is that my compuer plugged right into the router was getting 800mbps last night when i wrote you but was only getting 300mbps when i was working this afternoon. I feel like Comcast is charging me for something I'm not getting
i was also surprised Comcast told me i should get those speeds with wifi....so thanks for the article
The modem I have is a Linksys CM3024
As for the app
The app quickly redirects me to an admin page...But i actaully clicked on anytime access - and it works...sort of. I can't get to any of the options other than seeing i have 2 devices
Its showing two routers now...one that is connected and one that is diconnected. Very odd...it never showed that before the last firmware update. I guess i should remove that device, right? If i remove the old device - will i be able to access things again?
- Maybe this is the reason my admin password is not working? would i have to set up a different admin password for the new device? would the passowrd i have be tied to the old device? Have you seen this behavior before?

I think you mean Anywhere Access. (Netgear used to call it Remote Management.)
This is not the easiest thing to get tio grips with. The manual for the R7900P describes this in the section Manage the Router Remotely.
It works by using Netgear's cloud service (mynetgear) to direct your app at the router. This works only of you have already set up Anywhere Access on the router.
You need to use that only if you are not connected to the wifi from the router.

Without knowing why you see that, it is hard to diagnose what is going on. You have now changed the subject completely. We aren't talking about wifi speeds any more.
It may be that the "two" routers arfe really the same thing, one is the "cloud" version that the app would see in Anywhere Access while the other is the local version that the app would see with a local wifi connection. Might be worth reading up on Anywhere Access.
