Bandwidth Allocation Issues After Firmware Update
Hey everyone, Since I updated my XR500s firmware, I keep having an issue with QoS settings. After I updated the firmware, I performed a factory reset by inserting a paper clip into the factory reset ...
Are you clicking 'Update bandwidth' after changing the sliders? Otherwise, these changes won't stick.
Let me know if that's the case.
- Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I am clicking "Update Allocation" as well as "Save" on the box that opens up on the right side where you can slide the percentage up and down. I normally go to the PS4, use the slider to set my bandwidth to 15Mbps, which is roughly 90% of the upload. I click"Save" on the slider box, and "Update Settings" on the little flower page on the left. Then I do the same thing with the download settings. It never changes unless I check the Geo-Filter. There's nothing connecting to the network while I'm trying to play the PS4, so I'm not sure why the settings keep getting reset.- I can't reproduce the issue you're having but if you're using devices instead of applications then come back to the page the view will default to applications. What web browser/device are you using to change the settings? Also you don't really need to give it that much bandwidth, it will use at most 1Mbps.
- Thanks again, for the continued replies. And, I'm sorry, again, for the delay. I get about one week a month I can game.
I'm running Windows 11, and opening the router login page via Chrome, but it does the same thing when I open it with Firefox.
