Xbox Speeds slow.. Help!
I have tried researching so long on this and I really don't want to pay this 60 bucks to talk to the netgear support. But I have this XR500, it has been absolutely amazing in every way. I just bought ...

You have the xbox one?
It didn't have the greatest wireless card in it if I recall. You might be at what that card is rated to for speed.

Yes, it is the Xbox OneX. The wireless card in the OneX is that bad?

speeds vary depending on the server used for the game your testing on.
- 92jthomasSep 16, 2020GuideI assumed the same thing, just that I had did multiple speed tests and the average I got was what I provided earlier. I assume the server wouldn't be the same everytime. But still that it shouldn't bring it down that much though right? My brother lives in the same city as me with the same ISP just in the county more so and gets much higher speeds.
- Netduma-FraserSep 16, 2020NetDuma PartnerMake sure you disable the Geo-Filter when doing the speedtests as it may be blocked a server that allows you to get those higher speeds.
- 92jthomasSep 16, 2020GuideOkay, I will try that. Thanks everyone so much for the help.
- 92jthomasSep 16, 2020GuideI checked and my GeoFilter is actually already turned off or I have no devices added to it.
- Netduma-FraserSep 17, 2020NetDuma PartnerTry this, add your console to Traffic Prioritization with a manual rule:
Source 1 - 65535
Destination 1 - 65535
TCP/UDP
This will prioritize your console completely, this is not a good idea usually but if you do that then it will give you a good idea of what speed it is possible to get. - 92jthomasSep 17, 2020GuideOkay, I will try that tonight. Thank you! I feel so dumb considering I got this router and I am having to learn this way to get it set up correctly. I used to build pc's and program too. Thanks again!
