XR500 and internet speed connection
Hi everyone. I have a 98Mbp/s fiber connection using my own ISP modem and a second router. With other router the entire speed connection working fine, but with this XR500 I lost my speed and drop it down t 83Mbp/s.
Is there any thing should I do? Another strange thing is that if I set my internet connection in "always on" it doesn't work, but it works only as "on demand" connection.

- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerThe most likely cause is Anti-Bufferbloat being enabled, is this the case?
Are you referring to PPPoE? What do you mean by it doesn't work?- silvioslimAspirant
Yes anti bufferbloat was enable...now i disable it and will try.
Confirm I have a PPPoE connection and is setted "on demand" mode; if i setted in "always on" mode internet doesn't work (no connection)
- Netduma-FraserNetDuma PartnerIf you do not have any adverse affects using on demand then just keep using that option
