Amplifi HD Doesn’t Pass Gigabit Speeds
-
Just bought it two days ago, and I’m sorely disappointed. Not only not getting anywhere the bandwidth I pay for, but the lack of response is appalling.

@Cedric-Deal does your AMPLIFI HD and cable modem negotiate at 1000Mbps (flashing green on cable modem port) or do they negotiate at 10/100 (flashing amber)?
I’m having an issue with them negotiating at 1000 Mbps consistently where they will initially negotiate at 1000 but then after a period of time will go to 10/100 and stay there.
My Apple AirPort Extreme negotiates with the cable modem at 1000 and stays there consistently so I can take advantage of my 150Mbps connection from my ISP.

@jared-tubaugh Yes, I've verified that both physically at the G1100 (Verizon router) ports and also in the G1100 ethernet port configuration application.

@Cedric-Deal gotcha. I wasn’t sure if we were experiencing the same issue or something different. Looks like we have different issues. I think I have a bad WAN port on my AMPLIFI HD. I may just take it back to Best Buy and grab another. The chances of two units having the same issue is very low.
Good luck with your issue.

Same issue here. I have a gigabit internet connection and with my previous setup (Google Wifi) I maxed this out. Noticed that after getting the AmpliFi HD it capped at around 500 mbit.. Did a few searches on the web and found that this seems to be a well known problem. Huge issue for me and if they sell a router that is advertised as gigabit it needs to be supporting gigabit. Considering returning my 3 units now.
Support said that I could try with the beta firmware, but would not confirm that it would solve the problem. I'm also hesitant to run beta firmware on my network
-
Did they actually send you the beta software? I've requested to be added to the beta program, but nothing but crickets so far.

Got new official firmware update today. First tests are showing significant improvement of internet speed. Used to be capped at around 500. First test now shows 850 m/bit up/down. So looks like its very close to the 1 gbit I'm paying for. Small chance that some of the servers I'm testing against cannot provide full gigabit speed at the moment and also that a few m/bits are in use so I would probably say that out of the 1000 capacity I now have about 900 disposable. So much better and I hope they keep on improving.

Realized I had to enable hardware NAT on settings. Once done I now get full gigabit speed.
Not sure why it would be disabled as default?
