Some devices are slower
Ok this is a weird one I can't figure out. So I changed my setup from a combo modem/router to separate boxes. My series x always speed tested at full gigabit speed, and downloaded at around 500mbps. ...

Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you. - Rbolduc625Dec 12, 2021AspirantWifi doesn't matter. Xbox is hardwired. When I go straight from modem to Xbox I'm getting full gigabit.
When I'm hardwired to computer (through the router) I am getting gigabit. It's only the Xbox when it's connected to the router that I only get about 250 Mbps. All other devices when wired to the router get a gigabit.
This is super baffling :)- FURRYe38Dec 13, 2021Guru - Experienced User
Not the first time MS and Xbox cause problems.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed. Setup with out enabling any Access Controls, Armor or Traffic Meter? Leave uPnP enabled only. Hold the power button on the front of the xbox until it turns OFF then turn it back On.
