I just wanted to share a couple of potential bugs / funnies I've had recently.
I recently upgraded my Internet from FTTC (Sky) to FTTP (Brsk).
I got a great package from Brsk which is 1Gbps Up and Down. On Connection Benchmark my download bandwidth never displays above ~500Mbps, or reached full speed but will on other Speed Test sites it shows ~1000Mbps as expected. Upload speeds on Connection Benchmark are as expected.
Also, I found that after a short while of uptime the XR500 would down-clock the WAN link speed from 1000Mbps to 100Mbps, at first I thought it was the Cat 6 cable, but as it's such a long run, under carpets etc, I was reluctant to replace straight away. I tried a 1Gb Netgear switch I had lying about and the speeds stayed at full gigabit, since plugging the XR500 into the switch the link speed stays at 1000Mbps.
Network configs tried:
ONT > Icotera Router (ISP supplied) > XR500 > PC = 100Mbps Full Duplex 😔
ONT > XR500 > PC = 100Mbps Full Duplex 😔
ONT > Icotera Router (ISP supplied) > 1Gb Switch > PC = 1000Mbps Full Duplex 🙂
ONT > Icotera Router (ISP supplied) > 1Gb Switch > XR500 > PC = 1000Mbps Full Duplex 🙂
