Have you input your expected speeds into Anti-Bufferbloat options? What are your QoS settings set to? What do you get through a wired PC?

It is set to default settings for that, I haven’t touched it. Wired and wireless is same upload speed (at least on Xbox)
- Netduma-FraserOct 29, 2018NetDuma PartnerSet the MAC address of the XR500 to the MAC address of your previous router.
What speeds do you get on a wired speed test though as console speed tests can be inaccurate.- Alex0244Oct 29, 2018TutorWill do, I’ll keep you posted
- Alex0244Nov 06, 2018TutorStill having issues even after switching MAC addresses to old router
- Alex0244Nov 06, 2018TutorI’m also aware of speed test inaccuracy with consoles, however; my old router was supplying at least 30 mbps upload and that’s what I’m getting on all my devices except the Xbox

What are you speeds with a wired PC connected to the router and using a browser like FF or Opera?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Xbox wired or wireless connected to the router?
Turn OFF QoS and set sliders to 99%
What does the speed report on the router? Tyr manually inputting your spec UP and Down speed on the router.
