Slow local traffic with XR500
Setup : internet modem -> router (XR500) -> computer 'M' -> VM on 'M'. VM runs web server. Web server has a 5 MB gzipped page for index.html. A domain name 'D' is mapped to the WAN address of the modem.
Now If I browse to 'D's index.html locally, it takes a pathetic 50 seconds (100 KB/sec according to a separate wget). If I browse from a remote location, it's in in 5 seconds !
What up ? This started when I changed my old Netgear router (JNR3000) to the new one (XR500). QOS switched OFF.
This is a mystery. How can local traffic (which never even gets on Internet in this case) be slower than remote ?
Any clues ?
Thanks.

Well, the XR500 is a Nighthawk, and it is a Wifi router, so ... maybe there shouldn't be so many sections.
I can't disagree with that.

The separate section exists because the XR series uses DumaOS as the operating system. This comes from a different outfit. The people who created DumaOS monitor that area and may miss messages that crop up here.

Ayway, cross-posted it now.
NG created a Gaming router section for ALL XR routers as they do differ from other NG Nighthawk R series routers.
