XR500 ipv4 vs ipv6 speed differences
I feel bad putting this here without knowing more but I recently got a new config from my ISP for a 900/35mbs line (from 400/35). Direct line tests for around 500 (on speedtest.net) and ISP still thi...
Just wanted to follow up saying that I managed to resolve the issue by rebooting both the cable modem and the router in sequence leaving the MAC at the PCs. I strongly suspect that the XR500 router was not at fault for the issue but rather that for some reason the ISP/modem capped ipv4 traffic until the reboot.
I am now running with QoS and ipv6 fully enabled without any issues and get equivalent speed tests over both ipv4 and ipv6.
That's fantastic news. Thanks for coming back with the solution and glad to hear the XR500 wasn't the cause!
