XR500 Terrible WiFI speeds
I'm hoping to find a resoltuion to the ridiculously slow Wireless speeds I'm receiving using this new XR500 gaming router. Here is my setup... 100d/100u Fibre ONT (Internet & TV)>XR500>Frontier A...
I'll test the settings once home and report back. Are those settings you mentioned on by default? If so, why would they need to be disabled? Usually, on most routers I simply change the default LAN IP, set my NIC MAC address for secure access, passwords/SSIDs of course, set an IP range and call it a day. I know this router is all about aiding with latency by restriciting game server distance, etc and that is the main purpose for my purchasing. But, I also purchased it in hoping it'd aid in "future proofing" connections once upgraded to 1Gbps fibre. Fingers-crossed.
They are on by default. I'm thinking maybe your devices are not supported by those features. WiFi/Settings are not my area of expertise though which is why I recommend calling Netgear Support. It will absolutely support those speeds.
