Still only getting 200mbps DL when doing a Speedtest but I think I’m just gonna accept that fact and move on. I think I’ve done enough troubleshooting. If I get annoyed enough, I might take Netgear up on their “if we don’t fix it you get your money back” deal. Can you think of any reason that when I run a Speedtest and it gets to the upload it kills my WiFi? When I was re testing the speeds, every time I tested it would be great then as soon as it went to do the upload my WiFi would die completely.

These are the new analyzer and my router settings. I'm assuming that is what you wanted for the settings? I also have all QoS settings disabled. Except for WMM (Wifi Multimedia) that is enabled on both 2.4 and 5Ghz.

https://www.ca.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6700.aspx That is the router I have, it clearly states that the 5Ghz band should be capable of 1300mbps. Netgear won't help other than "turn it off and back on" unless I pay for "advanced help" which he said they would probably try to move channels. My best guess is that because I am in a condo complex and there are a lot of other networks, its just crowded. Netgear did mention that I could get a full refund of the Advanced Help if they are not able to resolve my problem, so maybe I'll take them up on that.

After doing some research, I found that the Netgear QoS settings usually cause more harm than good. This is true, I was able to disable all the QoS settings and I am back at my original 200mbps DL speed. Still not the 600 I am paying for but much better than the 50 I was getting with QoS.

Have tried this multiple times now with many different channels and I am getting ~20-50mbps download now.

@Falcon1968 Thanks so much for the help so far!

Removed the image, thanks! I have tried moving channels around and I reboot the router each time. Still not getting anywhere near the speeds I'm paying for, and every other channel I have tried has been >100mbps. Would my best bet be to just not pay for as much speed? Or should I call and complain to the ISP and let them try to figure it out?

Okay, now I ran the test again and I got 50mbps.... All I did what change to channel 161 on my 5Ghz network

Okay so my 2.4Ghz network is set to "auto" for channel. When I tried to change my 5Ghz to 52-68 it said "You select a DFS channel, the channel will be changed automatically if any Radar is detected." I do also have the ability to set the channel to 161. Which would you recommend? Also just so I can continue to monitor, I'm assuming the different colors on the graph represent other networks near me on that channel? So I am looking for a channel that is less crowded? Are there any channels that would be bad to use?

Here are the results

Here are the results from the analyzer. Looks like that is saying that I'm getting the correct speeds, so why would speedtest only show ~200mbps?

No walls and no floors between PC and router. They are both in my living room. I also have my TV with Fire Stick plugged in and my Xbox One X in the same room, but that’s about it. I will download the analyzer and post results.

The test is being done over WiFi as that’s what my computer is run on currently. Unfortunately, I do not have a cable long enough to go wired with Ethernet. Though the PC is only approx 15-20ft away from the router. I should be getting the advertised speeds even over WiFi though, sure there might be some loss due to hardware but when paying for 600mbps getting 200mbps isn’t acceptable. As far as other devices, I thought the same thing. So I moved everything other than my PC over to the Guest 5ghz network and only connected my PC to the main 5ghz network. That bumped the speeds maybe 10mbps, so really not much gain.

I am connected to the 5ghz network. My router has a 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and a 5ghz Guest network. I am 100% connected to the 5ghz network.

Hey all, I have recently been trying to chase down why I am not getting the speeds I am paying for from my ISP. I pay for 600mbps and when using SpeedTest.net I can only ever get 200mbps at the most but usually around 150-180mbps. I checked the network adapter through windows and it says that I am receiving the correct speed (see attached) with that I would assume that the issue is on my end? What can I do to try to get the speeds to where they should be, I'm not complaining about 200mbps, but I don't want to be paying for 600mbps when I can only realistically get 200mbps.
