Re: Slow speeds on XR300
If you connect a pc/laptop directly to the modem's port 1, what speeds do you get? (reboot the modem after disconnecting router, then hook up pc)
What firmware is on the xr300?
Optimal settings guide is found here

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
After doing speed tests on my PS4 via being connected to the modem I ran 5 tests and I got 119.7Mbps, 348.8Mbps, 353 Mbps, 151.4Mbps, and 357.5Mbps. I had my PS4 prioritized from the QoS giving my game consoles the most bandwidth usage. I haven't changed anything yet for the optimal settings yet to allow the speeds come through properly and the firmware is on whatever the newest firmware to date, I don't have a PC or laptop so I don't think I'd be able to install an older firmware if all else fails.

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Honestly I'm not sure, my landlord pays for the internet but seeing as how I can get around 350 I'd like to aim for that but I'm generally happy if I can maintain speeds 100-150
im messing with the settings to get high speeds and I'm not seeing a "disable IPv6" option. I went to settings then advanced settings then IPv6 but I don't see any option to disable it.
Also does the CM1200 have a bridge mode? I did a quick Google search & saw someone say that a modem that isn't a modem+router combo doesn't have that, it's always in modem mode, is that correct?

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
That's a pure modem so nothing to do in that regard. It seems like from the tests you did that the speed fluctuates heavily which isn't ideal from a diagnosis perspective. Follow the guide and make the changes to try to get max speeds and see what the PS4 gets.

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
I am but I'm at the part where it says to disable IPv6 and I don't see that option

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Ok so it's automatically disabled? Because I didn't see any option that strictly says "disable"

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Ok I found it, it was on DHCP & going through the options & choosing auto config it says router's IPv6 address on WAN & LAN is not available so I don't think I have IPv6 as an option? But after disabling it entirely speeds stayed the same, I went through the guide for optimal speeds and pretty much nothing, disabling the QoS bumped me from 20Mbps to 40Mbps but that's about it.
Would the cable between the modem & router have anything to do with it? It's a Cat5e & when I did the speed test from the modem directly to my PS4 I was using a Cat7

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Alright I'm back & I got a Cat8 Ethernet cable connected between my modem & router & that didn't improve anything

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
The QoS has been disabled & that only helped a little bit because the most I'm getting is 60-70

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Well when I connected my PS4 to the modem directly to the modem I was getting 300+. Are you saying a router can't push those speeds through?

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
Here's another question, at best I can hard wire my to an iPad Pro, I just did a few speed tests and it seems my WiFi is faster than my ethernet? Over WiFi I'm getting 80-85Mbps but once I wire my iPad I get around 60Mbps, is there a way to make my Ethernet faster? (I used 2 different ports & 2 different Ethernet cables for this test)

Re: Slow speeds on XR300
My PS4 tells me the same thing that the WiFi is faster than the Ethernet connection. Same thing for my Xbox
