can I make my router faster in configuration

[martindjjm]

i have a nighthawk r7000 , is there a setting somewhere to make it faster with my new docsis 3.1 modem for my giga blast speed

Well what speeds are you getting

hardwired? 

Wireless 5ghz?

What modem is it connected to? 

What speeds do you get directly connected to the modem.

wifi connected 2 laptops only getting 144mbps  modem is getting 1gig 2.4 ghz is what i'm using thought I would get at least 300mbps

docsis 3.1

wifi won't hit 1 gig speeds. 

2.4ghz is slow and if you're hitting 144mbps over 2.4ghz, you're doing amazing. My area struggles to average 30-40mbps (can hit peaks of 90mbps but not sustained) due to interference 

try the 5ghz.

That's pretty good.

It might be worth a bit of background reading.
