Questions about speed.

Hi.

I have the XR1000. My ISP speeds are 1gig up/150 down. With QOS on Never and the flower on defualt  i get...

On benchmark test the most i get is 800 up/140ish down

On auto speed test i never crack 650 up/150 down.

However, my Xbox will record tests of 1150 down/160+ up

If I move the flower at all to prioritize gaming or xbox/devices, my download speed on xbox drops to less than 500down/ and about 80up.

Any clue why prioritizing the xbox throttles speeds soo drastically?

We're still improving the results on those tests so if you get good speeds on speedtest.net then go with that. Your assigning bandwidth to gaming which pulls bandwidth away from the speedtest which isn't classed as gaming. Either way it's complete overkill as gaming won't use much more than 1Mbps!

Hi Fraser.  So setting the limits on QOS is for the entire network?

Is it possible to just set speeds for the xbox? Say i wanted to set xbox on 2up/2down.  Is that done using the sliders on CC?

Bandwidth Allocation isn't really very limiting, you assign bandwidth and if that device/service needs it then it will be used and any unused bandwidth will be shared among other devices/services that need it. For just gaming there is no real need to assign bandwidth. You can disable Share Excess and give the Xbox just 2 but that will hard limit every other device to use whatever percentage is set.
