Nighthawk XR500 giving me lesser speed on my pc
On my computer im using wins10 and it doesnt give maximum speed (200mbps) and it seems that my iphone xs max also affected by it. Ive been using speedtest.net to test my speed but the highest was 157 down/up and the same for my iphone but when i tested it on my android (SS10+), it got maxmium speed of 200 mbps. Could it be that my computer is limiting my connection? How come my iphone also affected but not the android?
Thank you.

- It sounds like those are the limiting factors. Follow this guide and see if Win10 gets full speeds after that: https://dottech.org/26628/how-to-force-windows-to-use-100-of-your-network-bandwidth-how-to-guide/ sounds like the android is newer than the iPhone as well which is why it gets higher speeds.
- The iphone got maximum speed once after the upgraded to 200 mbps but thats only for a day. And i got the full speed now after disabled the QoS. Not sure its safe to do that or not but at leadt now i got full speed...
- Okay if you're getting full speeds after disabling QoS then that indicates your QoS settings may be dropping the speed which is normal in order to eliminate congestion. What settings did you have for QoS when it occurred?
