Slow speeds on XR300
Been looking across the internet to try & find solutions to my speeds being slowed down to half or less from what I was getting before. I moved into this apartment where the equipment wasn’t mine & I ...
After doing speed tests on my PS4 via being connected to the modem I ran 5 tests and I got 119.7Mbps, 348.8Mbps, 353 Mbps, 151.4Mbps, and 357.5Mbps. I had my PS4 prioritized from the QoS giving my game consoles the most bandwidth usage. I haven't changed anything yet for the optimal settings yet to allow the speeds come through properly and the firmware is on whatever the newest firmware to date, I don't have a PC or laptop so I don't think I'd be able to install an older firmware if all else fails.
And what speeds do you pay for?
Honestly I'm not sure, my landlord pays for the internet but seeing as how I can get around 350 I'd like to aim for that but I'm generally happy if I can maintain speeds 100-150
im messing with the settings to get high speeds and I'm not seeing a "disable IPv6" option. I went to settings then advanced settings then IPv6 but I don't see any option to disable it.
Also does the CM1200 have a bridge mode? I did a quick Google search & saw someone say that a modem that isn't a modem+router combo doesn't have that, it's always in modem mode, is that correct?
That's a pure modem so nothing to do in that regard. It seems like from the tests you did that the speed fluctuates heavily which isn't ideal from a diagnosis perspective. Follow the guide and make the changes to try to get max speeds and see what the PS4 gets.
I am but I'm at the part where it says to disable IPv6 and I don't see that option
