XR500 speed test only getting 50% speed
I got 1g from my internet provider. Just bought it updated firmware and etc.. when the speed test went on only clocked my speed at around 438mbps and upload at 42 mbps. Don’t care about upload really....
did you go in and manually change you qos speeds? If it was ran on your previous speeds, you need to re-run/reset your upload/download speeds.

What modem are you using?
and a guide to help maximize your speeds
That initial speed test in the setup wizard isn't always correct. As above it sounds like you will need to change the bandwidth speeds to account for the 1000/1000mbps. Once you've done that redo the test and see what you get.
