Xbox Series X paired with CAX 80 slow down/upload speeds: Port forwarding temp fixes
I have the nighthawk CAX 80 and I am experiencing slow internet down/up-load speeds (20-30 mbps down/non-measurable up) when use of the provided cat5e cable I to the 2.5gig Ethernet port. I have tried...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Is this the only device that exhibits this issue? Do other wired PCs experience same problem?
CAT6 cabling is recommended and recommend using the 1Gb LAN ports for the Xbox as it's only rated at 1Gb LAN speeds and will never use the 2.5Gb speeds on the MG port.
Port Forwarding is not really needed if you have uPnP enabled.
Also speed testing thru the xbox is not the most accurate check as the speed test sites xbox consoles connect to may or may not be busy during time of testing. Recommend doing any ethernet speed testing with a wired PC connected to the CAX using Ooklas installable speed test app.
I spoke too soon… it as reverted back to the 24 mbps
