- That will be down to the ISP then, you've done what you can on your side now with that percentage but that issue is something you'll need to try and get the ISP to help with. It may help to say that your job requires low latency and that it is interfering with it, they may be more amenable.

I'm Using an ethernet cable connected from a Netgear ProSafe 5 Port Gigabit Switch. Before, I didn't really change anything on the Qos except the Bandwidth Allocation, which I put the majority on my PC.

What is the XR plugged into?The XR500 is plugged into the Netgear Prosafe, and an ethernet cord to my desktop (and an outlet). I just updated my QoS, so hopefully that helps. Thanks.
