xr 500 nighthawk unusable with 2 consoles?
Hello all, I'm using the last of my sanity to call for any help you can provide.
I bought this router 2 days ago to connect to my virgin super hub 2ac in modem mode to hopefully fix an issue it...
Great to hear the original issue is solved!
Now for the speed issue. Are you measuring the speed through the Switch?
What happens if you speedtest through another device, like your laptop?
It would be good to isolate the problem I.e is it a switch to router issue, or a general router issue.
Regardless, I would recommend switching the wireless channels on your router. It’s possible neighbouring connections are impacting you as well.

Hi Jack
The tests were performed using the inbuilt speed test on the system, I had hoped it was just a display issue but I am also unable to connect to gamesand the digital store until I change wirless band.
I am hoping I can find someone with a similar issue as the closest I could find was an issue with xbox one sleep mode.
Connect the consoles to the router with a ethernet connection and test.
Disable Instant On as well on the consoles as a test...

Could you follow Furry's advice please. Console tests are often reliable. You should try to test wired using a PC (and a site like speedtest.net). Let us know what happens through that please.
