What solved my xr300 problems where the speeds were limited or reduced

I upgraded my ISP connection from 250mbit to 1gbit.

 

My XR300 started only delivering 100mbit - despite no router settings changes, and no physical changes to the cabling.

 

I tested the internet connection directly and recieved ~= 600mbit, and confirmed all my router connections were 1000mbit full duplex.

 

After many reboots, recabling etc and nothing working (toggling QoS etc),  I stumbled on a fix.

 

I put the XR300 in VLAN/Bridge mode, waited for the reboot, then turned VLAN/Bridge off and waited for the reboot.

 

Now I'm getting similar speed to a direct connection ~= 600mbit.

 

It makes no sense, but it fixed the problem.

 

Hopefully Duma 3 will make this router a little more reliable.
