Slow upload speeds with xr500
I ussed to get 32-35mbps upload with my previous Linksys router. Since buying my XR500, I have been getting 2-3mbps upload. This is occurring both wired and wireless. And I’ve noticed it more on the X...

What are you speeds with a wired PC connected to the router and using a browser like FF or Opera?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Xbox wired or wireless connected to the router?
Turn OFF QoS and set sliders to 99%
What does the speed report on the router? Tyr manually inputting your spec UP and Down speed on the router.

I’m also aware of speed test inaccuracy with consoles, however; my old router was supplying at least 30 mbps upload and that’s what I’m getting on all my devices except the Xbox

Wired test 31.5 mbps upload

This with a PC? If so, then the speed reported on the console maybe inaccurate. I usually do not use game consoles to check speeds. Just NAT status. I always check speeds with a wired PC.
- Alex0244Nov 06, 2018TutorThe only reason why I think it is slower is because when I use twitch or mixer to broadcast, the stream automatically uses the lowest quality (which it didn’t before) I also have a hell of a time uploading clips and screenshots. Again, with the old router it would display a higher upload speed, I don’t understand why it wouldn’t show at least a little higher than 2mbps. I do believe there is something that is restricting the upload speed to the Xbox

Have you done a hard power OFF of the xbox? Hold the power button until it shuts off. Then turn it back on?
What are speeds if you wirelessly connect the xbox to the router?
Only thing I would try is a factory reset. Set up from scratch and this time, skip any QoS features. Just do a quick test with the xbox and see if the speed changes any.
