XR1000 Nightmare First 24 Hours
Hi all, I was hoping that I wouldn’t need to do this, but alas here I am… Setup my Netgear XR1000 yesterday morning, connected to my BT ONT modem via Ethernet (to WAN port) with PPPOE configured. ...
It depends on how you set up QoS initially as to why your Xbox download speeds were lower. Benchmark uses different servers than you might use normally so the speeds can report lower but it doesn't mean those will be the speeds you're getting as you can see from your Xbox speed test.
The latency on the console speed test is just your ping to the speedtest server, its not an indication that your game ping will be higher. Right now your ping is higher as you're not using the two main features to lower it (understandably from what you have described).
Two things first, I'd suggest you use the hub still to handle PPPoE and then connect the XR to that and all devices to the XR. Go to the System Information page on the XR, go to the Rapp panel and click the 3 horizontal line icon change the retries to 5, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes then access, does the Geo-Filter load then?
