Netgear Xr500: sliders does no affect to download speed

Question

So I have purchased the Netgear Xr500 after many years of use on the NetDuma R1. I have my download speeds set up which I’m currently getting 329 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload. My Xbox gets the majority of the internet but when I lower my sliders for the download, nothing seems to happen to my download speed it will stay the same. I am looking for some help or advice on this matter. Thank you

That's weird Because I already had the server it usually connects to as allowed and it still didn't connect to it. I didn't even connect any of the east coast servers. South Carolina, and I think New Jersey or in that area has one that I've seen pop up. In spectating mode it didn't connect to the one in Texas either. I was connected all the way in California, complete opposite side of the US from me.I haven't had any issues till last night, that's why I believe Xbox Live is having issues and not the router. I'm on the current firmware too and it didn't have any issues connecting to South Carolina server.

Hi Lou,&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Two things to check. First:
1. Set the mode to 'Always' and try again. If you had it on 'High Priority Traffic Detected' mode it will only apply the limits when a game is being played
&nbsp;
If that doesn't work, then:

2. Disable IPv6 if you've enabled it. Also, if you're using PPPoE, enter your credentials in your modem instead of the XR500

Hey thank you for the advice, it is working. I am currently having trouble with my NAT type on Xbox now tho. It won’t register, I have UPNP disabled and everything port forwarded. It seems when I have it on filtering mode it will go into not registering my NAT

Also I am having problems joining friends party chat as well, it will not let me connect. I know when I had my Linksys I never had this problem

Same here, putting it in spectator mode fixed it for me. I think Xbox Live is down on the east coast because when I put it in spectator mode I went all the way to California for a server.
