I have 1Gbit fiber service through CenturyLink.  When using their modem and the Google WiFi as a router I was getting 850d/850u, which is expected.  Because of some double NAT issues, I needed to bypass the ISP modem and use my PPPoE login in the Google Wifi.  Now I can only get 400d/50u on wired connection.  Not sure what's causing the slowdown.

Hello, Matt Rennert.

Sorry for the late reply here, but I still wanted to check in. Were you able to figure this out? I'm hoping I can offer a bit of insight here. Switching to PPPoE through your ISP is a good and reliable connection, but it's a slower connection than DHCP overall. It's possible that by making the switch to PPPoE that you're experiencing a slower connection from what you had previously.

To verify, I would suggest reaching out to your ISP to see if they can offer any additional insight on the matter. If there's any more I can do for you, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone.

As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
