Poor speed after firmware update for Nighthawk R8000
Hello,
I did a firmware update on my R8000 router and my internet speed slowed down to about half of its prior speed. When I connect directly to the modem I hover around 420 Mbps. When I connect to R8000, I get at most 150 Mbps. I used to run around 350 - 380 Mbps. Did anyone else have this issue with the latest firmware update? How would I fix it?

Re: Poor speed after firmware update for Nighthawk R8000
what modem do you have?
What firmware did you install?
did you try a factory reset and reinstall? anytime there's an issue after firmware changes, a reasonable first step is a factory reset and manual reinstall (not from backup)?

The built in speedtest in the nighthawk/orbi app isn't accurate. It rarely chooses the fastest server
