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...
Everything is hardwired to the router. Laptop, PS4, Tv.
Are you using QoS? Try disabling/enabling it to see if it helps.
Another thing you can try is enabling/disenabling IvP6. I've had this help before.
I usually use QOS. Just ran a speed test on speedtest.net
But when I ran the install wizard it set my router for QOS 488 because thats what it read... Do I have to redo the wizard for it to know its 1000 MBS? or is there a way to manually set it.
Ran a speedtest again still only pulling 500/600/800 Mbs its all sporatic and nothing consistent.
If you have gigabit, disable QoS. Past 500 mbps, it really isn't needed. Also speedtest.net can give you the sporadic results because most servers can't saturate gigabit.
Try speedtest.xfinity.com or speedtest.googlefiber.net usually these can saturate gigabit.
