XR700 slow connection speeds

Question

Any users who own a XR700 ever experienced this issue before? Essentially my internet speed on both wireless and ethernet devices slow while using Chrome based browsers.

For example I have a Mac and windows pc both connected to ethernet and all my traffic is slow at a crawl? This seems to happen in chrome but happens in safari too. I have a 500mbs download connection via cable modem dhcp. When I run speed test I get the average 450ish to 500mbps download speed.

I tried reset network settings on my router, reset network settings on devices, reset browsing history and so on and same issue. Doesn't matter if I'm on wired or wireless it's all slow.
I have downgraded from 1.20 to 1.10 and it seem to help a bit. On average I have about 3-5 devices connected at the same time. No big things like streaming or gaming.

Issue been happening for a while now and if anyone experienced this issue or similar had any tips to try to fix it? Any help be appreciated

Have you set manual DNS on the router or devices? If you used Firefox for example you wouldn't see this issue?

I haven't tried that yet is that something that might help? Its odd because I do see an improvement when using Firefox on mobile devices. Not so much on the desktop side.

Yes it could help with loading sites better but very strange it differs with Firefox. Try setting manual DNS in Internet Setup:Primary 1.1.1.1Secondary 1.0.0.1 and see if that improves it.
