I just upgraded my AT&T service to their Gigabit service. I connected my laptop directly to the Arris NVG599 gateway by ethernet cable and I was getting about 700 Mbps Since then, the tech from AT&T helped me set up the gateway in passthrough mode and then I connected my Netgear Nighhawk (R8500) to it. I connected an ethernet cable from the LAN portion of the gateway to the WAN port of the Nighthawk. My router was set up with two different IP addresses and I have internet. The router stats show 1000 Mbps going into the LAN ports, but the wireless is at about 50 Mbps. I have two questions. One is where did my speed go? Two, which is best the network model that I am using or would it be better to just use the gateway as a modem and run my Netgear in AP mode? Which is faster?
Thanks,
