R9000 throttling possibly?

We have 380+ Mbps coming in at the AT&T box and I've had an X10 a few months now without issues. Suddenly yesterday, network speeds drop to about 6-18Mbps. A laptop directly into the AT&T box still pulls 350+. The strange thing is that I have a PC directly connected to my X10 which is capping around 40Mbps and wifi devices are getting 6-18Mpbs. The house is hardwired to anything that can be with Cat7 (new house). TV set top boxes are getting sub 10Mpbs and are hard wired. The only X10 setting changed in the last week was I set a couple devices to higher priority than others.   Does anyone know if there are some issues with X10 throttling, or have any other thoughts? I work in the field, though not specifically networking.

 

Architecture is basically AT&T box -- (cat7) --> X10 -- (cat7) --> 3 10Gbps routers -- (cat7) --> various web of devices/tv/etc.

 

I don't see an issue with the routers by the way, and I've plugged a laptop into each of them. Same results.  Thanks much!

That was a good idea.  Even if you had a gamer in the house, there should be no need for QoS given your available bandwidth.  I would also suggest a graceful restart of the R9000 after this change.

Yea, that was it. Turn off QoS, reboot and speeds are back to normal. Thanks!  Looks like that's a feature I won't be using. 🙂
