Re: Netgear EX8000 X6S DOWNLOAD SPEED CUT IN HALF
My RAX80 / AX8 and r7000 -- both showed that WAN port is capped at 500 MBPS which was half of my 940 mbps connection.

Re: Netgear EX8000 X6S DOWNLOAD SPEED CUT IN HALF
What modem are you using?
What firmware is on your extender?
have you tested the speed on the extender with a hardwired device?
What speedtest are you running? App? hardwired? on which device?

Re: Netgear EX8000 X6S DOWNLOAD SPEED CUT IN HALF
i will have to check what firmware its running, i know yesterday it stated it was up to date
i have not tested the speed with a computer hard wired into it
i am testing it with the app that i downloaded to set it up. i ran the test on 3 different cell phones.
i ran the test with multiple things connected and with just 1 thing connected
the modem is one issued to us by spectrum. at the modem i have run a speed test hard wired and wireless and both test come with over 400 mbs

Re: Netgear EX8000 X6S DOWNLOAD SPEED CUT IN HALF
Try testing with a computer hardwired into it.
Reason I say this is that many things impact wireless speeds. And you're already starting with the extender away from the router so you'll take a bit of speed hit there. Add in a speed hit from using a different device and it can make troubleshooting worse.
Plus the EX8000 does band steering. So if you're on the 2.4ghz band, anything >100mbps is simply amazing.
