Slow Upload Speed on XR500
Hello, I’m writing this to see if there is something I might need to change in my router settings or somewhere is that might address the problem I’m having with my internet speeds on my Xbox one. ...
Whats the speed results with a wired PC and speedtest.net app connected to the back of the router?
I tend to not use xbox speed results as a marker. Most game consoles don't give accurate results. Always use a wired PC with the ONT then router to compare results.
As Furry said, I really wouldn't trust the Xbox test, it's usually very unreliable. If you want to check this for sure, try connecting your Xbox to your modem. Do you get the same low speeds? If so, then it's either a hardware issue e.g. dodgy cabling, dodgy Ethernet adapter on the Xbox etc. But if it's much higher with your modem then it will be something with the router, which we can help you with.
It's also worth keeping in mind consoles need very little upload bandwidth <0.5mbps, so this lower speed won't actually affect your experience (just an annoyance)
