XR1000 SLOW WIFI SPEEDS
Recently just bought a XR1000 gaming router, after setup ive noticed i was getting 85 download which i am paying for 900 down, but getting full 24 up. Ive just set my computer up and hard wired it to...
Couple of things to try/double check:
Make sure the router isn't on the floor so it's elevated instead.
It's not on a metal surface as this can interfere with the signal.
Electrical/wireless devices e.g. headphones, remotes etc are not within close proximity >~3 feet if possible
Make the antennae look like this _ | | _

The router has been elevated and away from electroics since we started this process and also the antennas have been in _l l _ the entire time also.
Could you please click the (i) icon next to the Wi-Fi Network on your iPhone then disable Private Address. After this, test your speeds again and see if you're able to get any better speeds.
- I just ran 4 test and they where all the same
- I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible and retest the speeds: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP
just did everything as instructed and not any better =/
- Do you have a spare router you can put between the modem and XR to see if it gets the speeds then/if it then gets it in AP mode? That would then really give us a good idea of what the idea is and potential next steps.
- Okay I’ll see what I can do about getting another router. I don’t personally have another one so I’ll have to search around and find one to borrow
