Firmware 2.3.2.32 Breaks Internet Speed
Firmware 2.3.2.32 breaks my internet speed. I run a 1Gbps Up/Down connection. With the latest firmware my speed tops out at 56 Mbps.
QOS is disabled and proper speed is set in Anti-Bufferbloat ...
All,
Just updated to FW2.3.2.32, install was quick and the XR500 rebooted and reconnected to the Motorola modem.
Ran a few speed tests and ping time is stable for me around 16ms and i'm getting my 300/20 speed on my PC(connected Cat6).
Before installing the FW I had disconnected all my extenders and AP and after the FW update on the XR500 and speed test I reconnected all my extenders and AP's, one at a time.
Running wireless speed tests i'm getting my wireless speeds as before, the EX8000 connects well as has been a performer!
I will continue to test all my other WiFi clients, but they all have connected automatically ....as usual.
The 30 minutes of running the NEW FW, i've been monitoring for intenet drop outs and have not seen any as of yet. Once again, I'll monitor
What Mfr and model# is your modem?
Did you perform a factory reset after the update or just update and continue?
