Nighthawk R8000 Wired connection slower than modem direct connection
My R8000 is doing something strange. I just changed from TWC 300/20 mbps to AT&T Gigapower. With the new AT&T modem connected directly to the PC, I get 195 mbps down and 600 mbps up. However when I put the R8000 between the PC and modem, then I get 245/32. I've checked many different cables and even the 50 ft cables I have that are guaranteed Cat6. Results do not vary. What settings on my R8000 might be restricting the upload traffic? I am testing this with no other devices connected to the router (wired). Also I've tried connecting the PC to the modem directly, while also having the router connected to the modem so that wireless devices are still actively connected.Solved14KViews0likes24CommentsR7000 Fast WiFi, SLOW Wired/LAN -- Need Help
I'm on an R7000 connected to a Motorola 6141 with Comcast. Provisioned for 100mbps+ with Comcast. On wifi 5 ghz, I'm getting 123 mpbs+ speed, however on my LAN connections, the speed tops out at about 33 mbps. I've fiddled with everything I can think of, or read about, to no avail. Tried downgrading firmware = zero difference. I'm back on V1.0.4.30. I've tried disabling all QOS and WMM, nothing. What is going on? Ideas?? This incredibly frustrating to be paying for this speed, and getting 25% of it on my wired devicesSolved5.5KViews0likes3Comments
