Can the XR500 PREVENT LAGG AT THE SAME TIME AS STREAMING TO TWITCH ?
Is it possible to have the Duma OS set up in a way that say if you are streaming your game to twitch you can still maintain a good quality connection ? I am asking because I tried testing this wh...
I am using a Netgear DM200 Modem I have an XBOX ONE Connected wifi , Iphone wifi , TV WFI , and PC WIRED.
I did a factory reset and found that the speed test that the XR500 does at the beginning set up was slightly lower than what I usually get. What I did was set the speed to what my modem sync speeds are and set it to 80mbits down and 20mbits up. I usually see in task manager 78 for down and 20 for the upload. The speed test set the xr500 found it to be 74 down and 18 on the upload.
I have done some testing this evening and found the game ran much better than last night no constant pack loss warning signs. The ping did change in stages but they were not massive jumps.
Not sure what's different other than me matching the sync speed of the modem to the Router or perhaps the factory reset.
Okay make sure all devices are connected to the XR500. That's great news. If Anti-Bufferbloat has the wrong speed information then you'll be throttling more than is necessary and for upload which gaming and streaming primarily uses you'll need more bandwidth. Keep an eye on it but sounds promising!
