RAX80 - Extremely slow internet download speeds
I just installed my Nighthawk AX8 router that I have connected with Comcast/xFinity with 1.0 Gbps service. My wifi connection are good and stable, but the download speeds are severely limited to 1-2 Mbps on all of my devices. The FW version I have is the latest - v1.0.3.102 that I had update during set-up. I have tried enabling QoS, I have tried enabling ipV6 and nothing seems to help. Is there any settings that would limit the internet bandwidth like this? I would hate to have to return this item.

Re: RAX80 - Extremely slow internet download speeds
A couple things.
what modem/gateway do you have from comcast?
since its a new purchase, it probably updated its firmware. the RAX devices respond favorably to a factory reset/reinstall after changing firmware. Have you tried this? (i know its new but it should have auto-updated on install)
What speeds do you get hardwired in?
What speeds over 2.4ghz?
And 5ghz?
What site/device are you testing on?
you also might post in the AX forum for better help.
also in AP setup: RAXE500->EAX80
1.4gig download/100mbps upload from Xfinity

What speeds do you get hardwired in? I haven't connected to the hardwired ports yet
What speeds over 2.4ghz? 1.0 - 2.0 Mbps
And 5ghz? 2.0 - 3.0 Mbps
What site/device are you testing on? Tried speedtest.net, xfinity speed test, and Ookla. They all say my speed sucks.
