R6260 (AC1600) and Xbox(s)

My internet downloads at a consistent 25 mb/s on every device in my home except the two xbox one's we have. My Series X is wired to the router and my sons is wireless to the router. As I said every device tests at a speed of 25 mb/s but the two xbox's consistantly test at anywhere from 3 to 5 mb/s. This is very frustrating because the majority of our downloading is on the xbox's! I have tried power cycling the xbox;s, I've power cycled the router, I have tried setting QoS on the router and I have cleared the cache on the xbox's. Nothing has worked. Can anyone please help me?

  • What modem/gateway do you have?

    What firmware is on the router? 

    How are you testing with the xboxes? 

    What speeds do you get hardwired to the router via a pc/laptop?

      1. R6260 (AC1600)

      2. The Latest

      3. When I test through the xbox's built in connection test, I get 3 to 5. When I open a browser on the xbox and test on speedtest.net, I get 25.

      4. All other devices test at 25

        2. The Latest----which changes, isn't always the latest, or doesn't help those in the future who might be having this issue. 

        3. When I test through the xbox's built in connection test, I get 3 to 5. When I open a browser on the xbox and test on speedtest.net, I get 25.----if the xbox gets full speed throught the browser, it seems to indicate an issue with the built in speedtest, not the router/modem. 

        4. All other devices test at 25---even more indication that its an xbox issue.
