Re: Netgear Nighthawk XR500 slow speeds
Could you first of all make sure QoS is set to maximise your bandwidth speeds: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000076586-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-spee...
Then are you able to set you modem to bridge mode or modem mode? It's possible that it's struggling to pass full speeds onto your router.
If that is not possible, can you check the CPU graph on the XR500 (found in System Information). Does it get fully maxed out when you run a speedtest?

Re: Netgear Nighthawk XR500 slow speeds
Hi - the test at the startup is just an automated speedtest from your WAN, so it could have been any number of reasons why it was lower that day e.g. a dodgy Speedtest server, your ISP had temporarily reduced your bandwidth etc.
Regardless, you should adjust the max speeds to your actual speeds. Do this in Anti-Bufferbloat's Advanced Options (in QoS)
