My XR1000 is only getting half of the speed it should be.
My XR1000 is only getting half of the speed it should be. I should be getting 100 mps and have been for several months. It suddenly dropped to half of that continuously. I updated the router thinking it may be the issue and I'm still having the same issue. Internet provider tech came out and everything is good on their end. Speeds at the modem show 100mps. Not sure what to do.

- Where are you testing the speeds exactly and how via WiFi or ethernet? What are your QoS settings?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.- Thanks for the reply. Just now getting to see this due to crazy work hours today. I will get this info as soon as I can and reply with it.
Any progress on this?
