Terrible speeds with XR500 and AC1900
So i have a Router and Modem that I upgraded from my ISP standard. Currently we are paying for 150mbps Download and 10Mbps Upload on Suddenlink. The Modem I have is the CM1000, The router is XR500. Ive been getting kicked from servers in games the last few months and have been noticing a huge drop in Mbps. Ive done a ton of speed tests and im currently getting anywhere from 8Mbps-27Mbps Download and 1.95Mbps-7.74Mbps Upload. This is on my PC with an ethernet CAT6 cable connected to the XR500. When plugging my PC directly into the CM1000, I get 110Mbps download and 3.73Mbps Upload. We just swapped to a AC1900 Router (R7000). HOPING that it would show better speeds but its the same. What am I missing?? Im sick of paying a ton of money for WAY less bandwith. ANY help would be much appreciated!!!

- If you're getting less speeds with two completely different routers then its either the modem or the ISP. Even when you're plugging directly into the modem you're not getting your full speeds either. Do you have another modem you could try?
