XR1000 SLOW WIFI SPEEDS

Recently just bought a XR1000 gaming router, after setup ive noticed i was getting 85 download which i am paying for 900 down, but getting full 24 up. Ive just set my computer up and hard wired it to the router and found that im getting full speeds through hard wire. Ive tried everything ive read about disabling QOS and having Armour disabled but yet no luck with wifi speeds increasing. I cant seem to find a solution to increasing my wifi speed one bit. Any bit of advice would be greatly appricated!

 

Thanks

  • Are you using SmartConnect? Could you please try disabling that if you are and connect to the 5GHz channel, then re-test speeds from nearby the XR?

      Smart connect is disable as well. I’ve tried turning in on to see if would help with speeds, nothing. So I turned it back off

        What device are you testing your speeds with over wireless? Is it definitely connecting to the 5Ghz channel and not the 2.4Ghz channel?
