xr500 router what settings to use for bandwidth allocation, qos etc
I have a gigabit fiber connection 1000 up 1000 down...it seems at speedtest I avg around 400 down and 800 up.....what settings to use for bandwidth allocation, qos etc....what am I diong wrong? s...
Be sure to test at the modem first then directly behing the XR router. Don't speed test with anything in between.
Does this modem have a built in router?
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
I would use option #2 for the XR router.
I already removed the att pace modem out of the equation..... I did the dumb switch method

so it goes from ont to nighthawk router, i fooled the ont to think the nighthawk is the modem...but im still getting dowload half of uoload? 400 down and 800 up? thoughts?
ok so i can plug my pc into the dumb switch its a tp link 8 port ..which has the ont giong into it and then out to the nighthawk wan port...but when i plug my pc into the dumbswitch...how do i get it to connect to the ont and test that connection? what ip address do i need to force my pc too?
Thats not going to work as the public IP address coming from the ONT to the Switch can only work for 1 connected device. So the XR won't connect directly to the ONT with out the switch?
You may need to contact the ISP and have them help you with this and see if they can get you set up better with speeds. They may required you to use the PACE router.
- Have you tried with the ONT > Pace > XR to see if you get full speeds that way at all?
