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.

  • The 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?

      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)

        If you do not have any adverse affects using on demand then just keep using that option
