Are you testing using an ethernet cable and have you disabled QoS in Anti-Bufferbloat options? Sometimes it can take time for the modem to adjust to a new router, during that time the speed can be slower. You could give the XR500 the MAC address of the previous router in Internet Setup and this may resolve it.
