XR300 - Slow PS4 speeds
I got my new XR300 yestarday, after setup i was doing some tests and i found that my PS4 download and uploads speeds got slower...
With my default smart router from my ISP i usually got 200 to 300mbps download speed and 80 to 100mbps upload speed.
With XR300 my speed went to 40 to 90mbps download speed and 50 to 70mbps upload speed.
I dont have any fancy customization, i tested with no other devices connected, i always use cable, i already DMZ my PS4 and Port foward the PSN ports with no sucess and i open the NAT Filtering too.
Can someone please help me? Because i payed alot for this router and i feel that was a bad choice :/
Thanks!

Are you still using your ISP's modem router? or what modem are you connecting to now?
have you went in and changed your QoS settins on the XR300 to refect your speeds? it runs initially but if it didn't get the fully speeds, then it'll be set lower.

Yes i still have my ISP router on because it needs to be on so the modem can send Internet(thats is what the ISP tech guys said) so i put it in Bridge mode and connect the XR300.
If i put my ps4 connected to my ISP router right now that is bridge the speeds go to normal, i change to XR300 and get slower.
Yes i customize QoS, and put my PS4 to 100%.
