XR500 Initial SpeedTest retest
Hello everyone,
So when i did the inital setup for my XR500 router, it did a speedtest to determine the download/upload speed.
That setup my quality of service uploads and downloads.
But recently, i upgraded my network speeds which makes that test irrelevant now.
Before: 220mbps Download
and 10mbps upload
After: 300 download
and 30 upload
so when I go enable QoS, and do a speed test, it isn't limiting by percentage, it is literally limiting by upload 7(which was 70% before upgrade) when I keep the slider at 70%. but to my understanding it would just be 70% which should be 21 upload, not 7 now. I have attached the QoS portion of my config for your reference. Also, when i disable QoS, i get the 30 upload like I am supposed to.
How can I do the inital speed test again so it can reset my download and upload speeds in QoS so that my upload isn't being restricted.
- Click the 3 line option menu in the top left of the Anti-Bufferbloat panel and change your bandwidth speeds there to what you pay for/expect and it will then use the percentage of those new speeds.

Test again after you prefer upload much over download. If there is no option to prefer download-upload then it may prefer services, even download not sure.
Remember to disconnect as much devices connected to it as possible as well as services of the device that you think must be connected. If you feel then try fast.com too.
Part I don't understand is why QoS will not prefer upload when no download is running. QoS isn't a limitation, it only limits a less-preferred when it is demanded by a preffered service. So if some form of download is occuring it will naturally limit upload if you configure like it.
