XR500 Slow Wired Speeds
I recently purchased a XR500 and Motorola MB86511 modem to replace my Xfinity XFI Modem/Router. I setup the XR500 and ram a speed test to which I constantly get around 400 Mbps download even though I’...
Where did you run the speed test? Through Connection Benchmark, or through a third party speed test?
There are currently some innacuracies with how Connection Benchmark reports speeds, we've fixed this for the next firmware version.
If you can confirm that you're seeing full speeds through a third party speedtest, there's nothing to worry about, just configure your network speeds as normal in DumaOS and you're good to go!
Ive tested this through SpeedTest.net and the NetDuma Benchmark... Both show slow speeds. The only normal speed test I get is when I look on the NightHawk app which shows 900+ Mbps. I'll take more screenshots when I get off work to show multiple sites.
- Have you entered the expected speeds in Bandwidth settings? Have you adjusted QoS or anything like that? Is this over WiFi or ethernet?
I have disabled QoS, Wired Connection, and have the bandwidth settings to 1000 down and 50 up.
