Weird Slow down on Netgear yet BT Was Fine FFTP

I have FTTP as you know I was using my netgear but I noticed a slow down in speed to around 300 odd on the ethernet cable I use a netgear nighthawk but its been hovering around 300 mb

During the testing with bt they asked me to place the router back in theirs and low and behold the speed was fine. getting my full speed according to fast.com

I am wondering has bt started to limit the username and passwords of the bt login we all use to 300 mb

@david39ni

it's unlikely BT would throttle a 3rd party router, it's more likely the router itself.

does it have the most recent firmware?

It will be the Netgear unable to cope with the higher speeds.

But it doesn't explain that it worked for the first week its a night hawk which is a 1gb router

I have the same issue with the nighthawk x6 r8000. Setting the speed manually and then disable qos worked to begin with but issue has returned. You found a solution yet?
