Extremely Slow XR500 Router
Hey All, I have an extremely slow Nighthawk XR500 (Tested on V2.3.2.130 and V2.3.2.134) that is of course out of warranty. I am paying for 900 mbps which I am getting when wired to my modem. Whe...
Any ideas on this?
Apologies for the delayed response.
A few things:
- Have you factory reset since upgrading to the latest firmware?
- Did you disable QoS from the three-line menu in Congestion Control?
- If you run a Connection Benchmark test, are the speeds showing as being reduced here too?
- Do you know if you require PPPoE, VLAN or DHCP identifiers to connect to the internet?
No problem!
I have
I did - 3 line menu > QoS > Congestion Control > Never
They are, they are right in line with my numbers posted above
They dont, its just a standard cable connection of 900mbps, I just upgraded from 800 thinking it was my modem the whole time causing this issue.
I also had Xfinity out to test the signal I'm receiving and its very good with little to no interference.
What model# is the ISP modem?
