Slow upload speeds with xr500
I ussed to get 32-35mbps upload with my previous Linksys router. Since buying my XR500, I have been getting 2-3mbps upload. This is occurring both wired and wireless. And I’ve noticed it more on the X...
Let me ask you this? When you do a wireless speed test from your phone, do you still get slow upload speeds or is it just on the console?
Have you done any more Ping Plots after the changes he made? I just had a quick look back and you did have a big spike at one point.
Also your base ping is 40ms going off that which is pretty high. So it means even if you lived really close to a server 40ms is the absolute minimum you could get but would generally expect you to get roughly 10-25ms higher than base ping. What sort of pings are you seeing for the game?

I'll have to get back to you on the checking of the upload speed through speedtest.net on my phone as apose ot my console.
I also have not checked the pingplotter to see if there are any spike issues, I'll do that when i get home later as well.
With the geofilter set to 40 ms I am only getting the 37-40 ms range. I have never seen a speed quicker than that range with the exception of when I had Fiber internet where the ping was 8-12 ms. WIth comcast the pest that I have seen on my console has been the 37-40 range that I mentioned. Although even with those ranges I have played games that the speeds have bee perfect, but then the very next game the lag would be noticeable. I'll run a few tests later with the new wiring that was performed to see what I get and will get back to you.
So after doing the speedtest and ping plotter these were the results. The first picture is from my cellphone, 2nd picture from the laptop (thru ethernet), and the ping plotter results thru my laptop. The connection seems to have no ping spikes on pingplotter after doing it and the upload speeds all around seem to be great on the cellphone at 21.8 mbps (12 ms ping) and laptop at 23.79 mbps (11ms ping).
- I can't see the picture but that's really great news, glad to hear it seems to be working better!
