Re: xr500 slow mbps

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

 

Wired or wireless speed testing?

Re: xr500 slow mbps

Are you testing using an ethernet cable and have you disabled QoS in Anti-Bufferbloat options? Sometimes it can take time for the modem to adjust to a new router, during that time the speed can be slower. You could give the XR500 the MAC address of the previous router in Internet Setup and this may resolve it.

Re: xr500 slow mbps

Can you configure the modem to use PPPoE then reconfigure the XR router for DHCP on the WAN side? Might do a factory reset after the modem is configured.

Re: xr500 slow mbps

Try the PPPoE suggestion above, also could you take a screenshot of the device manager table view as well as your QoS settings please.
