R7000 speedcap Xbox Series X over ethernet (Google Fiber)

What's the device connected on LAN4? 

Has Armor, Access Controls, Circle or Traffic Meter ever been enabled on the router? 

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch with a wired PC and web browser. https://kb.netgear.com/22697/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-router-using-the-router-web-interface
Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.

Hello All,

Looking for some help. 

 

I've recently switched to Google Fiber and have run into an issue with the Xbox series X. 

Its speed seems to be capped at ~150MB down when connected through the router over ethernet. 

 

Troubleshooting steps:

• Xbox connected directly to the ONT (bypassing the router): reads ~850MB down, consistently
  • this leads me to believe that it's not an xbox/services problem as I've seen mentioned in other discussions
• Desktop computer, connected to the router by ethernet: reads ~800MB down
  • Router can provide ~gigabit speeds
• Tested all 4 ports on router with desktop: consistent ~800MB down
  • not a port issue
• Tested just Xbox connected to router (no other devices) with wifi turned off: ~150MB down
  • reduce bandwidth impact
• All cables Cat 5e and verified good (test ~1gig)
• Testing speeds with speedtest.net & Xbox built-in network speedtest (respectively)

Equipment info: 

• R7000 gigabit router - FW v1.0.11.136
  • QoS, access control, traffic monitoring, and parental controls all disabled
  • IPv6 enabled (auto detect -> DHCP)
  • lights all indicate gigabit traffic
• Xbox Series X
• Google Fiber ONT

 

Any help is much appreciated!
