1GB fiber but speed is much slower through the R2

[todd999]

I have 1GM speed fiber and when I connect my computer directly to the modem/router via ethernet or wifi I get a speed of 800+ .  (router is 3 ft from computer used for testing)

When I connect via the Netduma R2 which is plugged into the modem from the cable company the speed is much lower like 90 down 70 up.

Do I have it configured wrong?

It may be the cable that is limiting you, can you go to the Device Manager, click the  icon then go to table view and provide a screenshot of what you see please?

Yep so the cable connecting the router to the modem is limited to 100Mbits, you'll need to switch it to a cable capable of 1000Mbits and then you should get higher speeds

What do you recomend Cat 7?

I was using a Cat 6 cable

So I'm having similar issues, much faster speeds from my provider, but much slower speeds and pings are all over the place, both wireless and wired.

Cat 6 should be fine, but do try a different cable anyway as it sounds like there could be an issue with the one you're using.

Welcome to the forum!

Could you please start a new topic for your issue?

[todd999]

could the speed slow down be due to the router not in bridge mode?

see below new Cat 6 cable but same speed issue

If there are other devices connected to the ISP router then yes that could be it. Okay so the router should receive high speeds now - are you testing over WiFi as there is no wired device to the R2 currently
