Without any router upgrade or without any modem upgrade?
I've got BT fibre and have a combined modem/router. I've switched off the router part of it and switched it to bridging mode with a Nighthawk R7000 doing the routing, wireless etc.
Previously I had Sky fibre. They provided a separate modem and router. So I just used the modem and connected that to the Nighthawk.
Both times the modem was fine to get the quoted speeds (38mb I think)
Anyway. It's unlikely that the supplied modem will be a bottleneck if you're just using it as a modem
What speeds do you get if you connect a PC/laptop via an ethernet cable.
duncs-
isnt your nighthawk a router/ modem??? why you using a modem into it?
this one?
you can get rid of the modem as it has a built in one

Thanks for this... I started on normal broadband and then switched to fibre... without any router upgrade so I suspect I am not getting the most out of my network.
It's connected with a normal phone cable rather than an ethernet cable so should be all good...
