XR500 Slow Upload Speeds
Hello All,
My XR500 is getting some really slow upload speeds when I am live streaming. I use streamlabs obs to stream on my pc with a wired connection.
The past 2 streams my bitrate has fluctuated greatly from 2500 to 0 to 1500 to 300 etc etc, to the point of disconnecting. The speeds I should be getting from my ISP is up to 1000mbps down and 35mbps up. When I run speed test I average 500mbps down and again all over the place for up from 5 to 30 to 20 to 7 to 12 etc. When checking fast.com I average 34mbps up.
When i check speedtest on my phone app i average 34mbps, I am not sure why speedtest would change so much and be slower on a wired connection instead of wireless, my pc is wired only.
I just had my ISP out today and according to them and their meter everything is fine and it might be the router.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

- First thing to do would be to disable QoS from the Anti-Bufferbloat options menu as you QoS won't be as needed with those max speeds. Then see if that resolves the issue.
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Is Smart Connect and Beamforming enabled?
