XR500 Upload Speed is in single digits on gigabit internet
Ok, My XR500 is producing lower speeds than expected. Ran a speed test and my Ping is 14ms, Download is 793.65, and upload is 8.94. On the google fiber network box alone I get 900's on both upload an...
- Was having the same problem. It's them. My router has been collecting dust for 10 months now and i can't find a local buyer. $300 down the drain. I switch to my isp's modem/router because it's giving higher download and upload speeds in my Xbox network test. Even downloading games my speed detection is like 4-5 times higher. What really suffers is the upload speed detection. Ipay for a gig up and down. Getting 800-900 down and about 300 to 500 up with my isp's box. I get around 700-800 down with xr500, but only 20 upload max. I've tried everything. Also, downloading games with xr500 60-140mbps. Isp box between 230-360ish.
So the speeds stay low even when you disable QoS? I mean by opening the anti-bufferbloat side menu and ticking the Disable QoS box.
Yes.
- Has anything changed since it was working? What is the exact physical setup you're using right now?
Right now the XR500 is the only modem/router supplying a connection to my devices wired or wireless.
- What is the XR500 connected to that provides it with internet? ONT, modem, wall connection?
