Netgrear XR1000 Won;'t handle 1GB download speeds?
I have had issues before with my XR1000, but this one is troubling. About a week ago we upgraded our internet speeds from 400mbps to 1000mbps download speeds. When I am directly connected to the cable modem with my pc, everything is fine, we are getting over 1000mbps download no problem, but when we hookup the XR1000 between my pc and cable modem we are lucky to get over 733mbps at best. We have tried a factory reset twice with no difference. Ethernet cable from the XR1000 to the cable modem is a Cat6, tried 2 different cables, all new. This is all wired Ethernet btw.
QOS has been off.
Are there any fixes for this?

Hello,
It's a EU2551 Specs are here - https://d15yx0mnc9teae.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/2018-08/spectrum_d31_emta_data_sheet.pdf
Manually set the speeds, are you taking about the XR1000 itself as I have done that, or is there a way to change it on the cable modem?
Thanks
How are you measuring the speeds? Are you using a third-party speed-test such as speedtest.net? Or are you using the in-built Connection Benchmark?
correct, in the router. There isn't anything in the modem.
did you disable qos?
- Go to QoS
- Click the three-line menu in top left corner of Congestion Control (Anti-Bufferbloat for older versions)
- Tick Disable QoS
- Run a third-party speed test (speedtest.net) from a device connected via ethernet (Not WiFi)
