Getting half my service speed through XR700 - Xfinity Gigabit
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Just purchased an XR700 a few days ago, having a problem where I'm only achieving half the speeds through the router. When im directly hardwired to my mode...
Your IP address is exposed in that picture by the looks of it. Also they same to be testing to different servers, can you test using the same server? Set the MAC address of the XR to be the same as the MAC address of the previous router then reboot and see if that helps.
Thanks for your response. My modem and router are new and don't have the previous hardware anymore.
All other speed test sites reported the same numbers. Speedtest.net was connected to the same server under both tests and still experiencing half speeds connected through router.
- Reason I mentioned that is it can take a few days for the router to sync with the network and that speeds it up. Could you set it to the MAC address of the modem? If you start the setup wizard from settings again - no need to complete it, just get to the speedtest - what does it estimate there?
Ok i'm on it. Also, can you please check your PM.

I stopped there.
- Responded to PM. Okay so the router is getting near enough expected speeds so it's not getting through to the devices, could you provide a screenshot of the table view of Device Manager please?
