XR500 Internet speed Problem

So i bought mt XR500 router just a week ago, and i started to notice that am getting very slow internet speed compare to my ISP router?!?! 

I dont know what the problem is i tried everything turning the Anti buffer to (never), all i get is just a little boost of speed. I mess with the Bandwidth still no change. I honestly dont know what the problem is, but when i use my ISP router i get the speed that im paying for.

Can anyone help me with this problem.

  • Disable QoS completely from Anti-Bufferbloats options, do you receive full speed then? I'm assuming these are wired and not wireless speed tests?
