Slow download speed xr500
When I started I had the XR500 directly connected to my ont was getting around 95 down and up which is about 1/3 of what I pay for. So I hooked my gateway back to the ont and the gateway to the XR500 I’m now getting 14 down and around 240 up. How do I fix the down ?
I’ve already reset the ont and the gateway. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the the newest firmware on the XR500. I’ve changed out cables all are cat5e. I’ve checked speeds on hardwire and WiFi both are roughly the same from multiple devices. I have also disabled the qos feature nothing changed.
Gateway model is Arris NVG468MQ

- If you disable QoS completely from the Anti-Bufferbloat option menu do you see your speeds return? Also how are you testing via wifi or ethernet?
- I’m having similar problems. I’m getting about half my subscription speed 50 Mbps with QOS fully disabled, I’ve only played one game at full speed the first day I bought it and I’ve had it for 2 months
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?What speeds UP and Down do you pay for?
What are the speed results with a wired PC.
Gaming on a PC or game console?

I never get my true speeds anymore. I tried everything.
I tried to fix it myself and so far nothing has worked.
My down is 500+ my up is around 50+Whenever I download anything I'm not even getting 1mps
Anyone can help me?
- Hi Amar, have you set the speeds you expect in the Anti-Bufferbloat options? What is your exact physical setup?
Anti-bufferbloat is always and yes everything is on.
I'm not sure as I just got my xr500
You know what i find interesting, why should we have to change so many different settings within this router just to get the correct speeds that our service providers are sending to us? I mean isn't that what a router suppose to do, trasfer the information from modem and send via wifi 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 - what a joke. (this can't be 2021)
.... And please don't blame it on covid.
