XR500 Internet speed Problem
Hello, I'm having a bit of a problem with my internet speed. When i plug into our isp router (Router Mode & Moderm Mode) i get my full isp speed but when i connect to the xr500 my speed drops by abou...
What have you used to do these speed tests? Have you input your speeds correctly in the Anti-Bufferbloat option menu and when you disabled QoS did you do it from the same menu?
Speedtest.net.
Antibuffer is disabled but set its self from factory reset (549down 37.18up).
QOS was disabled from the antibuffer section. (now get a big msg saying its disabled everytime i click on qos)
- Did it detect the correct speeds? If you do the setup wizard again in Settings does it detect the correct speeds again?
From what i can tell anytime i do a master reset which ive done alot over the last 4 months it manages to always pickup about the same numbers.
549/37.18 Auto setup speeds.as another test today ive removed the xr500 altogether and wired up my old netgear r7000 and done speed tests from bt, virgin, speedtest.net. and all come back around the 450-500 mark. Soon as the xr500 gets pluged back in im down to 150-260.
This is tested with wifi disabled and only one pc/laptop pluged in ran 4-6 times each. The results come back the same as soon as the xr500 get reinserted to the network all speed test drop to well below half.
with all the aboue settings in the 1st post.
