Xr500 Hardwire high latency and NAT
Hi! So I just switched from charter spectrum to a new internet provider that is supposed to be like fiber called Great Lakes energy Truestream. I reinstalled the router hardwired to Xbox but when I tr...
What do you mean they had the WiFi option? Do you mean the modem you have right now is capable of WiFi or they would have given you a router with WiFi if you didn't have the XR? On the XR in WAN Settings change NAT to Open, does that help with the NAT issue?
They would have given me one with WiFi capabilities had I not had the XR. Instead they gave me the modem only version. I will check that when I get home today.
- I realized I never responded. The NAT type is fixed but my numbers don’t match at all. My upload is better on WiFi than hardwired through the router. The numbers are still good, don’t get me wrong, but just doesn’t seem right that my upload would be like 400mbs better on wifi.
- What are the download speeds via ethernet compared to the WiFi? You may have a faulty cable.
- I know the upload was like 300-400mbs less, but that’s just off memory. I will have to check tonight. The speeds in from the nighthawk app day 940 down and 940 up with like 1 ping. My download and upload on WiFi were 650 down something and 650 up something. I don’t think I have ever had the upload show over like 300 hardwired. I can get new wires, but those ones were new with the nighthawk I believe.
