Re: Can’t get right speed
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

Re: Can’t get right speed
I think I kind of understand what your saying though , the virgin hub 3 is the standard router and the netgear xr500 is connected via Ethernet to it . When I turn the virgin hub into modem only the netgear won’t work ? says no internet . I called netgear when I purchased it and they couldn’t figure out why so said to keep the hub as normal and use both but I am getting so much interference in the WiFi signal , a virgin engineer came out and did something to create two channels one said 2g and the other 5g which helped a little but the 2g connection was poop and now I have reset the router to try and gain better internet it’s deleted what he did so I’m in a bit of a pickle

I would contact your ISP and have them help you get the ISP modem configured correctly for one of the options suggested for use with the XR router.

Re: Can’t get right speed
Hmm... Have you tried seperating the 2.4 and 5GHz channels? The iPhone might be being connected to the wrong band, causing lower speeds.

Re: Can’t get right speed
What happens if you disable the 2.4Ghz radio on the XR router, leaving the 5Ghz radio running? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
