Trouble with my google wifi speed

[Charliehenao]

Hello all, this is the second time i write, i couldn’t continue on the initial thread. 

My situation is the following: 

1. I have 500mbps speed from my ISP, if i connect via wifi or via CAT6 cable directly to my ISP modem. 
2. My first google WiFi is connected to my ISP modem via the CAT6 cable.

3. That google wifi device forces me to connect the cable to the wan port and forces me to create another wifi network (different from the one that my ISP modem has) 

4. the wifi network created from my google wifi only gives me no more than 90mbps. 
5. i already adjusted the google wifi device and enabled wpa3, upnp and ipv6.

Any suggestions to have 500 mbps out of my google wifi? 

thanks

Hey have you turned on wpa3, UPnp, and ipv6 in the advanced network settings? Also where are you checking your speeds? In the Google app or speedtest.Net? The Google app will tell you the speed that's coming from your modem to the router itself, which is the speed you should be paying for, and speed test will show you the speed coming to the device which will never be what you're paying for because of the way Google routers divvy up your internet speed to provide a sufficient speed to all devices. If you want faster speeds on a particular device, you can always set a device as a "priority device". The only downside to that option is the maximum amount of time that you can keep it a priority device is 8 hours. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, comments or concerns feel free to reply back. I do believe that changing these couple of settings will help fix your speed issues.

Hello, thanks for your advice. I do hace wpa3, upnp and ipv6 turned on. I have checked speed on both (speedtest.net and the google home app) and both have the same, around 90 mbps. My guess is that when creating the new network that the google home makes me create, i lose the speed

You should be turning your ISP provided router into a modem only.. some call it gateway mode, or something along those lines. Basically take away the smart features...and let it simply feed the raw connection to the nest router.
