XR 500 and Comcast xfinity gig internet Incompatable
Hell everyone, A few months ago, I purchased the Netgear XR500 pro gaming router. My current ISP at the time was Spectrum and I had 400 Mbs service provided to my apartment. Well 4 days a...
It is not reaching the appropriate speeds, it is only letting me reach 60-150 mbs. Where as when I just hardwire into the cable modem I am getting 905 Mbs.
Whenever you setup new service, its always good to start fresh with your router. Thats setting it back to factory and redoing it from there.
did you try this or just go from one to the next?
What firmware is your XR500 on?
That is good to know, I will definitely follow these steps and update on what happens. Currently painting a room, but when done with the room will update with any news. Thank you again for the help so far!
- I have the same issue. I have gig internet and when I do the speed test I get 500 download paying for 860. When I update a game the speed is horrible or sometimes drops. I gotta change my dns settings to google or it won’t work. Please let me know what happens
I had issues with my ps4 last night not even on the nighthwak router with a streamed movie from the psn store dropping
I just performed the reset and set up wizard for the router and was succesful in getting it set up to the the internet. The main issue tho is during the setup wizard, the speed test came back with 488 Mbs down and 44 Mbs upload. So its nowhere close to the 905 Mbs down I was getting off the Netgear Switch.
firmware 2.3.2.40
