Hey All,

 

I have just purchased the Night Hawk xr500 and so far Im not experiencing the benefits. I am a ps4 player and really like playing COD Bo4.  When I installed the Night hawk xr500 the bandwidth initially was around 10000kps (COD Bo4) for a few games, but now the bandwidth is around 4100 kbps (consistently).

 

Considering I paid $400aus for a ‘gaming router’ I was expecting higher connection stats.  Actually, the connection speed for COD has     not increased from the original stock standard router provided by my internet provider.  I have called the Australian support number and made a few adjustments but no changes. 

 

I have QOS activated for mostly PS4 and I don’t have a lot of other devices.  I have adjusted the bandwidth to about 70% and selected ‘when high priority traffic selected’.  I have also set the geofilter locally, < 2000klm. 

 

Any advice?

 

Cheers
