Slow download speeds
Hey guys I’ve tried everything but I’m getting slow download speeds to my Xbox one x. Let me start by saying my set up. First off arres modem straight cat to xr500. Xr500 to Xbox one x. Now in the xr5...
I can disable ipv6 but I thought there was a advantage to that. Also my ping goes up when I change the dns. I was hoping for a solution to the problem because keeping my dns and this happening isn’t right. Remember this is a 300+ dollar router.
It won't really give you an advantage. How much does it go up by? Try 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 instead. Routers are rarely ready to go immediately they'll always require a bit of configuration, you've found this as a solution so try the above one and see if it still works and your ping stays the same
- Disabled 6 still not good plus new dns you have me gives me packet loss no bueno. Anything else?
- I can't imagine DNS increasing your ping that much. Try 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
- Already tried google ping is higher not much but why should I give up my ping speed. Sir something isn’t right obv. My old router this didn’t happen. So something within the router is not correct. I should be able to plug the router in and good. If you don’t have a solution that’s fine, I was just wondering if you had any idea why.
