NETGEAR CM 1200 Cox Gigablast Speed Problems
I set-up a NETGEAR CM 1200 after having the Wifi Panoramic. Decided didnt want to continue renting from Cox. I'm using an Orbi RB20 Router.
It's strange when I run a wireless speed test on...

If you do a speed test, you need to bypass your router. Disconnect the router and directly wire a device.to the modem.
If you test through your router, you're measuring your network...not your Cox connection. If you test through your router, your wireless device is competing for bandwidth with every device connected to your router.
Post those numbers.
So I purchased a Anker Ethernet to C Cable so I could connect my MacBook directly to Modem. At first I couldn't get ethernet to C cable to work, kept saying self assigned IP, but after disconnecting and restarting Modem with cable plugged in I got a connection. Connection speed using Cox Speed Test was around 800mb and I got similar results from speediest.com So, I'm thinking the problem is possibly the router, an Orbi RB20.
Any recommendations on how to improve my wifi are appreciated, I'm getting around 300mb through out the house, around 2500sq ft.
