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’...
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.
What connection rate are you seeing on the ethernet adapter on your PC?
What is the Brand and Model# of the ethernet adapter in this pc?
Be sure it's drivers are up to date.
Swap out LAN cables between the PC and router. CAT6 is recommended.

- Is your setup just the modem > XR > all devices or is there anything else? Before you do a speed test take a look at the network monitor, is there anything hogging bandwidth?
