Nighthawk XR500 slow output
My new nighthawk XR500 router only puts out about 100Mbps wifi and LAN.
When i hook my PC directly to my modem i get downloads speed at 505Mbps
When i hooked up the router and did the setup router saw 508Mbps
But when i have my PC connected to the router i only get 100Mbps downloads (lan and wifi)

- Have you changed any QoS settings? If you disable QoS completely from the Anti-Bufferbloat option menu does that help?
I had to do a second factory reset for some reason (on a brand new unit) and now it is working fine.
- Okay well keep us updated, hopefully it doesn't happen again.
