My internet speed from my provider is up to 900 Mbps. On the Nighthawk app i get performing a speed test just over 400 mbps and doing a speed test over the internet just over 100mbps. Can anyone tell me why im getting different speeds?
When connected directly to the router i get 550mbps. Its a wired connection to my Xfinity X1 router. I have checked for updates for the router and now are avaiable and im its firmware version V1.2.0.88_1.0.1 and everything you mentioned is disabled
the X1 is a modem/router combo device. it can cause a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1. 1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. 2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference 3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features. https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-M...
