Xr500 Ethernet limited to 100Mbit
Hello, I have gigabit service from my ISP. When plugged in to the wall I at least get 250~500Mbit download speeds but when I try to download the same exact file from the same exact website (Microsof...
Case - sorry but that is untrue. DumaOS QoS can operate at gigabit speed on the XR500. In fact, that was one of the main test requirements when we first put DumaOS onto the hardware. OP has also said he has disabled QoS anyway to try and find the cause.
OP - let us know if you have any update and we will continue to help you here. Thanks.
I have the same exact problem. Ever since I upgraded to 1gig through spectrum my lan connection seems to be capped at 100mbps. Help!
How are you determining this?
Are your network adapters connecting at 100Mb or 1000Mb speeds? Should be 1000mb
Have you set up two PCs or a storage device like NAS that all support 1000mb on there network adatpers and do some file transfers between each to see what the speeds are? Read and Write.
You might download iPerf and run some tests as well.

Hey there,
actually i got the same problem over here. but i dont know if its just a bug in dumaos.
i could see the following in the device manager app
and Link Speed is at 100 Mbits. My Setup is pretty easy: Cable ISP Router Gigabit > XR500 via Cat 5e > Client Machine via Cat 5e
I'll try it with cat 6 or 7 within the next couple of days and post a reply.
