What solved my xr300 problems where the speeds were limited or reduced
I upgraded my ISP connection from 250mbit to 1gbit.
My XR300 started only delivering 100mbit - despite no router settings changes, and no physical changes to the cabling.
I tested the internet connection directly and recieved ~= 600mbit, and confirmed all my router connections were 1000mbit full duplex.
After many reboots, recabling etc and nothing working (toggling QoS etc), I stumbled on a fix.
I put the XR300 in VLAN/Bridge mode, waited for the reboot, then turned VLAN/Bridge off and waited for the reboot.
Now I'm getting similar speed to a direct connection ~= 600mbit.
It makes no sense, but it fixed the problem.
Hopefully Duma 3 will make this router a little more reliable.
