Netgear Nighthawk CAX30

I have a nighthawk CAX30. I have the extreme pro internet which is 1gb of download speeds. I can only get 375mbps over wifi, and 525mbps over wired connection. Ive had a technician come out and all of my connections are good. Why am i only getting half of my download speeds?

They only rate that device to 949 Mbps;

What happens is that if you use an incompatible modem for a faster speed tier, the modem will default down to using a slower speed configuration file. A compatible device needs to be used.

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums, @User_1707! I'm sorry to hear about your lack of speed, and I'm disappointed that a visit from on of our technicians didn't solve the issue. When the tech came out, did they gave any insight as to what might be going on?

Be that as it may, you'll still need to use a compatible device as was stated..
