XR500 Upload speed low

Hi I am getting upload speeds of around 25 to 30 when I test though my pc (Ethernet connection) however when I test the speed through the netgear app I am getting my ISP promised speed of 45 to 50. I use two pcs both on Ethernet for streaming and gaming, so I need my upload speed high and stable. Any advice?

Can you provide a screenshot of your whole QoS please? Upload it as an attachment, then I'll see if there is anything there causing the issue

What actual modem/gateway do you have?

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

Does the modem/router have WiFi? Are ALL devices connected to the XR?

Look on the box of what the XR500 is connected to and it should have a model name on it

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

Also when using wifi I am receiving a higher upload speed than if I am using a ethernet connection.

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

Can you check other ethernet devices and see what speeds they get please?

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

If you click the menu top left of the Anti-Bufferbloat/Congestion Control panel and disable QoS fully do you get the speeds you expect then?

No, same results, also when testing the upload speeds on ethernet it takes a few seconds for the upload speed to rise from around 5 to 28ish. Compared to wifi which is instantly 45+

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

Can you try directly connected via ethernet to the G-24, what speeds do you get then? Also what firmware version are you on currently?

Re: XR500 Upload speed low

Thanks for confirming, were you connected to the modem using the same ethernet cable that you currently connect to the R2 with? If so, could you please try a different cable?
