XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
My speeds degrade over a short period of time. 3 computers are wired and 1 wireless. Modem>Router>Computers nothing special. Both the modem and router are brand new 4 months. Computer direct to modem holds constant speeds over time. When I reboot the router speeds go back to normal for a short amount of time and the issue happens again. I have tried doing a factory reset and leaving the config alone. I have tried turning off QoS totaly and nothing there. Cables are Cat5e and pretty short with the exception of one. Any suggestions guys , thanks.

Re: XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
Yes both wired and wireless will slow down. I will have to check the wizard for the speeds, I run the speedtest from speedtest.net to get my results and will be as low as 5Mbps down and about the same up. I have Gigablast from Cox so I get around 700 - 900 depending on what we have running and what is going on with cox on average. Running a test from the router I get 459 down and 33 up. speedtest.net gave me 661 down and 16 up. when I wake up in the morning and do a test it will be down to 5 at the lowest that I have seen. If I then reboot it it will take me back up to normal speeds. For QoS I went under it and selected never under Anti-Bufferbloat, when I go into it, it will say All QoS features are disabled.

Re: XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
ok firmware updated by tftp and reset done. I noticed in the Anti-Bufferbloat that it said Never should that have reset or is that the correct starting value? it has the down at 157 and up at 35. if I do a speedtest it gives me 61 and 25. do I need to do another reset? net speeds should be 900/45.

Re: XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
Ok in the Ports Table there are 4 listed plus internet. the first has N/A and the rest are listed as 1000Mbits. In the next section Devices Table everything shows up N/A except my wife and son computer, they show 1000Mbits but mine shows N/A even though I am online.

Re: XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
Nothing out of the norm. This morning I pulled everything apart and started from scratch. Speeds are normal where they should be 943/10. my upload is tanking right now because there is an issue with Cox but everything else seems to be normal. Going to check in the morning to see if the speeds hold.

Re: XR500 wired/wireless speed degrades after a short amount of time
So far it looks promising. Speeds are 517/13 and that's with 2 people in games, one streaming netflix and another one online with misc. stuff. So it has held up overnight!
