XR500 QOS speed issues
I disabled QOS a few months ago when I switched from PS5 to PC because of having speed issues with QOS when using my PC. I thought I would try it again today and they are still there. I've been using firmware V2.3.2.134-dumaos33-rc10 for months now.
Some information you might need is that I have a Nighthawk CM1200 modem, and Comcast is my ISP. I've inputted 900 down and 40 up as my speeds. When I let it auto-detect, I get 390 - 410 down and 38 - 41 up.
I use speedtest.net and internet test speed for the results. Download is usually close but upload is usually about 50% lower on internet test speed than speedtest.net
With QOS disabled I get 930 - 960 down and 39 - 41 up
Using manual 900 down and 40 up. I tried always, auto-enable, and never with both sliders at 100% I get 70 - 80 down and 3 - 4 up. I changed both sliders to 50% but I got the same result as previously mentioned.
Auto-detected currently gave me 408 down and 39 up. I tried always, auto-enable, and never with both sliders at 100% I get 30 - 40 down and 3 - 4 up. I changed both sliders to 50% but I got the same result as previously mentioned.
I tried auto-setup with the same results posted above.
I have not changed any settings since switching from PS5 to PC except I removed my PS5 from the geo-filter and added my PC.
Can you please assist?
I've never messed with that but under devices they were both unchecked.
Checking it gave me what I should be getting.
Thanks for your help 🙂
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Are you using the official NG v.134 release or a beta from NetDumas forum?

I honestly don't remember. Should I download this one?

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerCould you provide a screenshot of your QoS page please?

I had to shrink my screen to get the whole page in.
If you need anything else, please let me know.- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerYou'd definitely need to manually enter your speeds to get anyway close to them. Have you disabled Share Excess in Bandwidth Allocation settings at all?
