Connection loss

22 Replies

  • I’ve had this problem ever since I got this router, about 1 month ago. I lose connection daily about 2 times. Another problem is that during night time my apps won’t load such as YouTube, Spotify, etc. Also when playing on my PS4, there’s huge amounts of lag spikes. When I’m playing my ping stays at about 50 for about three matches straight. Then it jumps up to about 500 and goes back, it happens a lot and I don’t know what to do. Help please.

      Modem its connecting to? 

      Firmware on the xr500?

      What speeds do you pay for?

      What speed do you get hardwired to the xr500?

        If you could answer the above questions that will definitely help us help you. Also are you using QoS and the Geo-Filter? If so what settings are you using?
