I have a 1 gig download and upload connection through fiber. With a 33 dollar linksys router I could always get those speeds with no problem I got this because I had more people using my connection and the linksys I had wasnt able to handle the extra load but when i got the nighthawk i couldnt get the 1 gig speeds no matter what i did i even shut off the network monitoring and every other optional feature and still only could get 432 mega. Then the following morning it quit working. I sent it back and got a linksys gaming router and it no only gets my full speeds but it's working even better than the knight hawk 🤣🤣 my recommendation dont waste your money on the netgear nighthawk it's a waste of money
