Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.9

ISP is Xfinity; internet tier is Extreme Pro rated up to 800 Mbps.  Router is the Archer AX50.  My modem is a Netgear CM1100.  I have six wireless devices and one wired.  The wired device is my primary laptop which sits directly beneath the router with with a Cat 6 cable.
On occasion I will shut down both router and modem for a few minutes as matter of maintenance, (maybe every 2 months or so), the most recent being this morning.  Each time I do this my wired connection drops from its usual 940 Mbps to where it is right now, about 125 Mbps.  Meanwhile, my wifi speed just clocked in at 388 Mbps.  Based on past history, the wired connection will show these reduced speeds for several days and then gradually work back to the 900+ range.  
Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.

I assume you mean six WIFI devices and one wired.

 

That is strange.

 

I would try:

 

  • Different Ethernet cables
  • Be sure you are using the power adapter that came with the router
  • Try a different PC as it may be the PC.
  • Bypass the router and connect the PC direct to the modem and check the results.
