Nighthawk XR500
I have purchased and upgraded my home router to the AC2600. I have also upgraded my 1GB internet. However when I have my computer plugged directly into the router. My speed never will go to above 300mps on the speed test. I can plug my connection directly into the IP Modem, and get around 980 Mps. I have contacted my ISP and they tell me that Nighthawk XR500 can't go about 300mps. I have loooked through the forms I can't find anyone that has had this problem. I wanted to post and see if anyone has seen this and if there is a setting on the Nighthawk Pro XR500, that I am missing to turn on so I can get the speed up to 1Gps. Thanks for everyones help.
Thanks
David

Re: Nighthawk XR500
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Do a reset on the XR router and walk thru the setup wizard. When it gets to the detected internet speed. Let us know what it detects here.
You can also manually input speed settings 1000/1000 I believe under QoS...

When it goes through the setup and dectects the speed I get 300/300 which it is suppose to be 1 GPS up and 1 GPS down.

Re: Nighthawk XR500
What happens if you manully input 1000/1000?
Something you need to contact NG support about.

Re: Nighthawk XR500
Hi Dlucas,
First of all the Nighthawk can definitely do over 1000mbps speed, so ignore your ISPs advice there!
Could you try this please:
- Disable QoS in Anti-Bufferbloat's options (click the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of the panel)
- Does your modem have a bridge mode or a modem mode option? If so, please enable that
- Disable IPv6 in >Settings >Advanced
One other thing - does your connection use PPPoE?

Re: Nighthawk XR500
If disabling QoS gets you to full speeds, could you follow this guide to get QoS setup correctly to allow full speeds: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000076586-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-spee...
(you'll need to re-enable QoS first of all).
