1/3 speed
Recently purchased a AC1200/R6120, My current ISP is xfinity and the package i have is for 300mbps. Ive called a tech out to confirm that I am in fact getting that speed on my moden and it is confirmed 300+Mbps. When I connect this router im capped at 100mbps. Ive gone into the router settings to verify that the 2.4g is at "up to 300 Mbps" and the 5G is at "Up to 867 Mbps". Even on 5G i get sub 90mbps. Firmware has been updated. Im using a CM500 Modem aswell. Ive done a few speed tests on my desktop comupter that is able to handle 1g and no dice on going above 100mb. My question is there some kind of setting or check box that im just missing to enable 100mb+? Any help is immensly appreciated
Appreciate the response, as it turns out the WAN port is rated for 100Mbps, to my understadning that means this (AC1200) will only ever be able to push 100Mbps since thats all its getting from the WAN port? But since its advertised as "wifispeeds up to 300 + 900Mbps" that is referring to it being an access point and being able to resending wifi at those speeds?
