Do you have a spare router you could use to put between the hub and the XR? If you have that router handle PPPoE and remove that from the XR do you get full speeds that way?
- I have the Bt smart Hub and yes get pretty much the speeds quoted.
Do I need to do anything in the ipv6 settings? It’s currently disabled, read somewhere about enabling this, in settings I see auto detect and other options possibly the ppoe and using same login details for ipv4 would be the way to go?- Are you talking about direct to BT hub? I'm wondering if PPPoE is causing the slowdown and so by putting a router in between to handle it we could determine if that was the case. No you don't need to do anything there. If you do the setup wizard just to the point where it performs the speed test what speeds does it report?
I cant put the smart hub in between as there is no option in the settings to put in bridge mode, ok i will leave the ipv6 alone it is set to disabled.
Speeds are coming back after a setup wizard are around 555 it wont go over that with a service giving me 910 mbps.
