SM961 Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 I'm paying for 400Mbps/20 Mbps. Turbo and Super Turbo ticked. Keep in mind that Speedtest.net you can change the server picking the wrong server will have slow speed tests. So my question is which one is the true speed test result?
Bert Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 If you have windows 10, try using the speedtest.net desktop app. For me, their website always reads low but for some odd reason the desktop app is bang on. DSL reports usually doesn't give me accurate results due to the distance to their server.
purpleandgold33 Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 What Bert said dsl reports is trash. Use speedtest its way more acuurate. Btw blufferbloat is way overrated. That website is so inaccurate and even if you have A+++ on everything its not going to help you. Just use pingplotter if you want to find the right settings for your sliders and jitter.
purpleandgold33 Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 Also run 3-5 different tests on speedtest and average them out
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 10, 2019 Administrators Posted December 10, 2019 I would also agree with the other suggestions. Also if you are with Spectrum then their speedtest will read very close to the expected value as their server is basically the first thing once your packets leave your home anyway.

Yes, the thing is the speed test still slow.
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted December 11, 2019 Administrators Posted December 11, 2019 Have you ever reached your maximum speeds? Remember that when an ISP sells you a package, they advertise the package with the maximum speed, but often that equates to far less in practical terms. It's a maximum rather than a minimum. If you don't think your speeds are worth the money you pay for them, it might be worth taking up with your ISP.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 27, 2019 Administrators Posted December 27, 2019 In the Bandwidth Settings do you have it set to 400/20? If so did you let it auto setup for those speeds? If not try that, what do you get? If you're still slow, try setting it to 999/20 and auto setup, is there any difference in the speed you receive. Out of interest does your XR450 get the full speeds?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Posted December 29, 2019 Channel 1 SNR is a bit low but looks like it's correcting issues so shouldn't see any packet loss. Upstream is fine as well, can't see any issues here. Did you try my previous suggestions?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Posted December 29, 2019 You have the XR450 as well is that right? Does it get the speeds you're supposed to? I.e. is this issue isolated to the R1 or do you have issues with another router connected to the modem.
SM961 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Posted December 29, 2019 Yes, no problem with the XR450. It must be the R1 that does not play nice at high speed.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Posted December 29, 2019 In that case, the speeds you're getting through the R1 at the moment with QoS completely disabled is probably the best you will get unfortunately. You could try a factory reset from the interface and then allow QoS to set up for you but I'd be surprised if it allowed you to get any higher.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 29, 2019 Administrators Posted December 29, 2019 Unfortunately I think the speed you're getting then is the maximum the R1 can handle for your specific connection.

Finally fixed it, after setting to factory and enabling and disabling each item on the "Miscellaneous Settings" that having check on the "Deep packet processing was reducing from 400 Mbps to around 70 Mbps. Here is the problem I have always kept the Deep packet processing unchecked as I always game on my PS4 but for some reason It just did what it did it kept reducing my speed even after unchecking it from the box. now I'm getting about 300 Mbps with the sliders at 100%. YMMV.
