XR1000 - Not getting full speeds during speed tests (speedtest.net)

Without the router in the loop, I consistantly get 940Mbps down and 920Mbps up. With it between my computer and the ONT I get 760ish down and 780-820 up. This is with Congestion Control at 100%.

If I completely disable QOS, I get near full speeds. When running the tests with QOS on, I have other devices connected to the router but they are not actively accessing the internet.

Without QoS disabled what settings have you changed on QoS? Are you using Armor, Traffic Controller etc?

Armor is disabled, not using traffic controller, added Xbox to traffic prioritizaion and disabled all devices, Bandwith allocation left at default

How did you add the Xbox to Traffic Prio specifically - did you use manual ports?

I added it as a games console. No settings changed

How are you measuring your speeds, using a third party application like speedtest.net, or Connection Benchmark?

 

I'd suggest doing both and comparing the two results.

They are slower on both speetest and the internal router test.

Reset bandwidth allocation even if you haven't changed it and test again please

That seemed to get me pretty close. How often will I need to do do this? I have never set anything manually on the distribution

Just doing it that one time should be enough, keep us posted!
