R6900 : Slow Wired Internet Speed Compared to Modem
Using the latest R6900 firmware, V1.0.1.46_10.0.29, I ran a Comcast speed test using a Mac Pro (10.13.4). If I attach the laptop to an ethernet port (Gigabit) on the R6900, I measure
110Mbps down, 5.6 Mbps up.
If I attach the laptop directly to the Comcast modem, I get
250 Mbps down, 10.0 Mbps up.
Is there anything I can change in the R6900 configuration to increase network bandwidth?
I found a solution to in another post - disabling QOS increased the wired ethernet bandwidth to 197.0Mbps down, 11.7 Mbps up.
