Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

What speeds do you see through the XR700?

If you fully disable QoS from the three-line menu on the left, do you see an increase in speeds?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Watching this thread, I disabled QoS and I did see a speed increase. My plan is 600 down/17 up. With it enabled my test was 263/17, with it disabled it was 401/17.

 

I haven't seen my speeds at 600 for some time, so seeing ~400 was nice... even if it was a one time thing.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

@Zeke009 what is the model of your modem/router that the XR is connected to? Is this over wireless or ethernet?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Also watching this thread and can confirm that disabling QoS I saw a speed increase. my plan is 1Gb Down/1Gb Up, with QoS enabled it was half this.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Hi Fraser,

I have the XR700 connected via Ethernet cat6 direct to the ISP Switch, no modem.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

An ISP Switch? That must be connected to something, an ONT or direct to the wall? Is it a managed switch?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

So I am apart of this group as well. I as well have 1gb service and with QoS on it get about half my speeds or so. I also fall in with apps failing to load I have my apps set to 5 attempts. Only way to get my apps to work is a restart. Apps will work for a couple days then give the failed to lunch messsage as well.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Are you testing using Connection Benchmark or speedtest.net for example?

What apps fail to load specifically?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

It's CAT6 from XR700 to the switch.  It's a gigabit access switch with GE downlinks (Huawei S5735-S32ST4X) direct to the ISP network.

 

The service came with a Nokia modem, but I'm not using it and plug the ethernet directly to my XR700.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

I have tested with speedtest and connection benchmark. As far as the apps that fail to load its ping heatmap and network monitor. I am using xFi Advanced Gateway with it on bridge mode.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Highiest I have been able to hit is 800mbs on connection benchmark speed test is ually around 550 on a hardwired device. When I run xfinitys speedtest from there side to the modem it says its running at 1.3gbs a second.  I know the highest the wan port is 1gb but thought I would be getting more then 550 on hardwired computers.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Sorry for the delay @Netduma-Fraser, I have a Netgear CM1100 as my router. This is over a wired connection.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Thanks for the comments all, prior to the beta were you receiving higher/expected speeds? Did you all do a factory reset after install? What QoS settings are you using exactly when it is lower?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

I can't get over 800 anytime of the day. As far as a reset yes I have done a reset recently after updating to the beta. As far as did I get more then 800 before 3.0 beta I didn't have 1.5gb service until recently.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

That's with QoS completely disabled? That may be the maximum you're able to reach. With QoS on, what settings are you using as you should get full speeds unless settings have been changed

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

with QoS on I get around 250mbs with sliders at 75% of 1gb

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Update for the dev team. I reset the router, tested my speed. Bypassed the router, tested my speed. In every scenario I am seeing usually 1/6 of my speed or 1/3 (if I am lucky) of what I pay for.

 

I contacted Xfinity and they have a tech coming out tomorrow morning to check the box and line to the house. I do not think the XR700 is at fault here. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

@Danny80916 have you disabled share excess on Bandwidth Allocation? Also reset distribution on Bandwidth Allocation and re-test.
@Zeke009 thanks for the update, let us know the progress!

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Alright, so quick update replaced my SFP card with a 10GB version that supports 2.5gbs and cat 7 cables. I am now getting around 1.5gbs on connection benchmark and 980 on my computer. So considering 1GB is its cap, I am happy.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

It was slightly higher before the beta, but here are my settings that I have tested:

 

QoS On Settings: (around 400 Mbps)

Download Bandwidth - 1000 Mbps

Upload Bandwidth - 1000 Mbps

Goodput - Ticked

Disable QoS - Unticked

Anti-Bufferbloat - Always

Download - 90%

Upload - 90%

Bandwidth Allocation - 100 (to my PC wired)

 

QoS Off Settings: (around 700-900 Mbps)

Download Bandwidth - 1000 Mbps

Upload Bandwidth - 1000 Mbps

Goodput - Unticked

Disable QoS - Ticked

Anti-Bufferbloat - Never

Download - 100%

Upload - 100%

Bandwidth Allocation - All Zero

 

The second set of settings get me near full speed on up and down, currently 700-900 Mbps down and 940 Mbps up.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

@l3ni3r for the first test, what happens if you reset bandwidth allocation and test, then also put the sliders to 100% and test?

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

Ok, so tested with sliders at 100% and bandwidth allocation reset for up and down I now have a steady 800/800 +/- 20.

 

Tested again without QoS and it's around 820/940 +/- 20.

Re: XR700 - DumaOS 3.0 Beta Firmware

@l3ni3r that's much better, seems as though that will be the maximum you can get with QoS enabled then.
