Model: Archer BE230  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.2 Build 20260212 rel.13796(5553)

Swithed from T-Mobile to Xfinity for internet (1Gbps plan) when set up I was getting the 1G speeds consistently. Now I notice they only average around low 4XX.XX Mbps down and 1XX.XX up. This was with my Xfinity XB8-T in gateway mode connected to my TP-Link Arher BE-230 via the WAN port (also connected to 2.5Ghz port on the XB8-T).

 

I troubleshooted by disconnecting the TP-Link and restoring the default settings of the XB8-T back from bridge mode and then connected dirctly to the Xfinity gateway and the 1Gbps speeds returned. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Also using Surfshark VPN merged.

I assume you've put the XB8-T in bridge mode to avoid the double NAt in your LAN.

Try something else - leave the XB8-T in normal mode and set BE230 in AP mode, then check how it goes.

  @udidwht Yes the Xfinity XB8-T is in bridge mode.

Hello @udidwht ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

Is there any update for your case? I’d like to confirm something with you: does "default mode" refer to Wireless Router mode, and does "bridge mode" mean that you are using the Archer BE230 as the main router/DHCP server?

In other words, are you saying that the WAN speed on the BE230 is unstable when it is in Bridge mode? 

If possible, could you try another router for comparison?
