XR4500 Slow down at router
Hello. I'm having a issue with my internet speeds. I have had this set up for over 1 year things have been great. All the sudden my speeds dropped from 300Mbps down to 158Mbps with upload speeds of 13...
what firmware version is the XR450?
Firmware is v2.3.2.1.30
have you tried the newer firmware?
The firmware you're on is up-to-date, it was released a few days ago.
Were are you measuring these speeds, through Connection Benchmark or through a third-party speedtest? Could you run both and compare their results?
- I have ran both 3rd party from speedtest.net and the bench the mark test in Dumaos. They both are really close to one another. Last night I played around with Qos and Geo Filter and was able to clean up some gaming lag but its still noticeable.
OK thanks for confirming that.
After playing with QoS, are you speeds still as low as before? If you completely disable QoS from the three-line menu in Congestion Control, do you speeds return back to full?
