Extremely Slow XR500 Router
Hey All, I have an extremely slow Nighthawk XR500 (Tested on V2.3.2.130 and V2.3.2.134) that is of course out of warranty. I am paying for 900 mbps which I am getting when wired to my modem. Whe...
You would need to disable QoS from the 3 line menu top left of the Congestion Control panel to fully disable, then see if that improves. In this menu as well have you set the bandwidth speeds you expect?
Ahhh I got you now, that actually hurt it more with it completely off hah. Wired connection 304mbps. Yep the option for what is expected has always been set to 1000mpbs download and 100mbps upload.
- That's impossible for it to make it worse, I can't see how that would have occurred at all. When you factory reset previously, did you restore a saved backup?
I didnt restore, I have a pretty basic straight forward setup.
Ran some more tests again today and we are back up to the standard wired connection it was before, no difference with qos off.
- I can't see the picture until it's been moderated, can you attach directly or link from elsewhere?
