Speed Confusion
I've got an XR450 Gaming Router and a 1Gbps connection through i3 Broadband. When I run a speedtest through speedtest.com or fast.com, my download speed comes in in the mid 900's. When I run a speedtest through DUMAOS, my download speed comes in at around 500. Can anyone explain the discrepancy and if it's a problem? TIANew - XR450/XR500 Firmware Version 2.3.3.136 Released
