XR1000 slow ethernet speed
I recently “donated” my XR500 to my son (different household) and bought myself the XR1000. I have tried everything I have seen mentioned in other threads in here- even the Netgear speed guide, and ev...
- So you should be able to turn this off using the Nighthawk App on your phone in the settings, then reboot from the app, wait 2 minutes before accessing and see if the speeds are improved
There is actually a newer firmware just released than the one you're on - .58, I'd recommend you do the check again to upgrade to that, once completed do a factory reset from the interface. Then see where you're at with the speeds and we can go from there
- Thank you, I will try that and let you know the results
- Ok, so I finally got time to mess with it. When I checked my netgear app and Duma, both confirm I am running the .58 firmware.
I ran some more speed tests with and without QoS enabled and also with trying to disable a few settings like goodput and work at home, but those made little little to no difference. With QoS enabled I now get much lower numbers than I was before. I also had congestion control set to never, and no bandwidth allocations set.
Qos off: LAN: 219/33.8
5G: 341/34.2
QoS on: LAN: 94.4/33.7
5G: 69.9/32.8If you run a Connection Benchmark on the XR1000 GUI, could you please post a screenshot of the results? This may give some indication as to whether the XR1000 is seeing full speeds from the modem.
Another thing you could try to help us narrow down the problem would be to put the XR1000 into AP mode, then connect to it via ethernet and re-test your speeds.
- This is my benchmark result. I put the router into AP mode and my ethernet result was 559.5 down and 33.6 up
