XR500 + EX8000 not reaching gigabit speeds

As stated in the title, I’m not reaching anywhere near my gigabit speeds. I have Xfinity and pay for 1000 down and 20 up. I get 20 up but only around 400-500 down. Is there something that I’m doing wrong? I use the XR 500 as my main router and the EX8000 as an extender.

Any help would be nice.

  • Good questions above, also do you have any devices still connected to your ISP modem/router?

    For wireless yes. Wired you should see over 900Mpbs or near it. 

    What are you speed testing with? Wireless or wired devices?
