ifell Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 when the XR1000v2 is the only thing connected to the ISP router the speeds are inconsistent and low, even with QoS set to Never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode So ALL devices connected to the XR, none to the modem? What are the speeds you pay for/receive? Have you entered those speeds into the router? If you disable QoS fully do you get higher speeds? Is this over WiFi or ethernet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 The ISP modem is a "Digi" Model Name:SR1041F All tests were done with Ethernet Paid for 1000mbps up & down QoS was disabled for the comparison All devices are connected through the XR1000v2 Did numerous speediests to get exact speeds only for the speeds to change, didn't matter how spot on it was, the speeds jumped around the 200s to 380mbps on the download, causing high buffer bloat on the XR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 15 Administrators Share Posted March 15 I know you said Congestion Control was set to Never but that doesn't disable QoS, was it fully disabled from the menu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 here's what speeds it got while it was fully disabled, doesn't make sense with how the modem router can get 900mbps but the XR1000v2 can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 noticed that it should be limiting the download to 28.8mbps, but it still gets 34.85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16 Administrators Share Posted March 16 Are you using PPPoE or VLAN by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 PPPoE on the ISP modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16 Administrators Share Posted March 16 Make sure the ISP modem is handling PPPoE and the XR isn't and then you should get better speeds through the XR and QoS will apply better also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 PPPoE is handled through the ISP modem, and the XR1000 is connected to the ISP modem to get an internet connection the isp modem router gets 900mbps up/down but even when the XR1000 is connected to the ISP's modem it gets at best 580mbps download & 800mbps upload with absolutely no QoS on it even shows up as QoS disabled in the UI is there something that can be done to resolve this? since while QoS is enabled & the congestion control is set to always, the fluctuations in what the speeds really are to the XR1000 are making the lag worse, for example, finding the right max bandwidth/paid for (Mbps) no matter how many times this is done, as well as going to the sliders and finding what makes it stable, it doesn't last more than a minute till the bufferloat goes all over the place and theres tons of lag in games it just doesn't get what the ISP modem router gets 920mbps up and down, apposed to the XR1000 being connected to the ISP modem router with all traffic going through the XR1000 40 minutes ago, Netduma Fraser said: Make sure the ISP modem is handling PPPoE and the XR isn't and then you should get better speeds through the XR and QoS will apply better also its set up exactly like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16 Administrators Share Posted March 16 Copy the WAN IP from the XR System Information page and put it in the DMZ on your modem and see if you get better speeds then please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Unfortunately it did not improve anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 17 Administrators Share Posted March 17 That's quite bizarre, set the XR to have a static/reserved IP on the modem so the IP doesn't change, double check the IP is the same in the DMZ then reboot the modem, wait 2 minutes then reboot the XR from the interface, wait 4 minutes then check the speeds again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21 Administrators Share Posted March 21 Are there any other settings you may have changed on the XR? In WAN Settings disable the protection options and set NAT to Open and see if that boosts it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 i've not changed any settings, i've only had the Nat filtering open since i first set up the XR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 23 Administrators Share Posted March 23 Switch it to AP mode (this disables all router functions), can you get full speeds through it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 yeah the XR gets full speeds while in AP mode, but how does one go about getting that to come through the XR with all those useful QoS features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 23 Administrators Share Posted March 23 That's the question isn't it, everything appears to be correct from what you've said so I can't see an obvious reason for the lower speeds. If you put the PC in the DMZ on the XR and do a speed test what do you get? Remove it from the DMZ immediately after testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 it's stuck in AP mode... i could NOT even log into the XR at all, i've tried finding it's ip address, which was 192.168.1.128 put it in the web browser, and absolutely no luck what so ever, tried a factory reset with a absolute no luck at all in getting into the log in page tried the default gateway 192.168.1.1 didn't work tried to unplug the XR and to isolate it, only had the pc connected to it, tried on LAN ports, tried WAN can't access the login at all to return to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 update: after discovering that the cmd ipconfig way didn't give the correct IP, showed 192.168.1.128 it had changed to 130 was able to log in to the XR and exit AP mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 speeds are finally as at an acceptable range now through the XR after a factory reset after getting out of AP Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 24 Administrators Share Posted March 24 Okay interesting, that's good to hear, perhaps it got stuck in a weird state, do let us know if it goes backwards again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifell Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Will do, I did stumble on something in another forum somewhere, it mentioned how if QoS is set to auto, the speeds would be in a bugged state until the xr was factory reset It was either the auto QoS mode " always, auto enable, never" for context using auto enable might of bugged the speeds, or it could have been the auto detect speeds, I'm not sure which it was, but I'll be keeping QoS as Always, and completely disabling it with the congestion control three lines menu as a way to toggle it for full speeds when not gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
