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?
- Yes I did that initially 400 down 800 up
Removed pace 500 down 900 up
So pace seemed to be holding it down
But why is my download about half of upload makes no sense
