Slow download speed
Hi! I have internet speed 500 mg download and 100 mb upload and I get lower download speed on router xr300 compared to my ISP's router. I get 450-500 mb download speed with my ISP's router, and I get 300 mb download speed on xr300. I haven't done bridge mode between them. I have the latest firmware btw. Using wired cable.
I really need help!
Regards
Do you have QoS enabled? Do your speeds return to full when you fully disable QoS from the menu in Congestion Control?

Hi! The current DumaOS I have doesn't have the Congestion Control. But I have disabled "Share Excess" and still doesn't work.
Hi again! I found the menu and have disabled the QoS and it works! Just now I got 490 mb download speed :) But what happens when it is disabled?
Good to hear! Everything is working properly then. QoS throttles your bandwidth speed to ensure it can control traffic on your network, if you run a connection benchmark with QoS enabled you should still see the speedtest shows your full speeds.
