Xr1000 slow speeds

I recently bought an XR1000 to improve my internet.
I receive these speeds while testing my router on the nighthawk app however, when I test on other devices my speeds can’t get past 200 down.
If I use my default isp router I’m getting 300+ down on all devices but I avoid using it as I receive higher ping.

What can I do to fix this ?

  • How are the other devices connected, via WiFi or ethernet? Depending on the age of your devices the WiFi speeds will differ between each, the latest iPhone will get better WiFi speeds than an iPhone from 4 years ago for example.

    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
