Xr500 Connection through WAN port causes issues
When I connect through the WAN port my gigabit internet goes down to 90mbs but when connected as a switch it pushes out the gigabit internet I should be getting what is wrong with my router?
Recieved replacement XR500 from Amazon, plugged it in, got through the initial setup, and first speed test was over 750Mbps. So as it seems it was a faulty router. Thank you all for your help!
Let us know if it happens again with the new router and we'll be able to troubleshoot with you, it is likely a misconfiguration issue.

Glad the new router worked. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Enjoy.
