What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What are you speeds UP and Down that you pay for?
Is the PS4 wired or wireless connected? Wired is preferred.

Hello,
I buyed a new XR500 router to have better performances with my working Mac (I upload a lot of material and I'm far from the wifi station) and my PS4 (I experienced some minor lag, sometimes).
With the new Netgear router the Mac is working great, but I'm unable to play on the PS4. The first day everything went smooth, now I'm literally disconnecting and lagging every simple moment (I'm playing RDO).
I prioritez my PS4 but it doesn't work. With my 2013 Buffalo router and the same modem attached everything goes smooth without disconnections or lag.
Am I wrong on something?
I love the user interface, but as it is the product is useless.
I have the basic Telecom router, with a speed of 60mbps download and 20mbps upload.
I can't use my PS4 wired, I'm 6-7 meters away from the router, in another room.
The sad thing is that, as I said, yesterday I tried with my old 2013 Buffalo router and I have no issue at all.
I haven't the time to test if it was the QoS.
Yeah it's a router that my ISP give me. I disabled the wifi network and disabled the firewall.
As I said, the strange thing is that my other router works fine attached to the same modem + router :\
I will share more info soon.
If I need to buy a modem, wich one would be the best to work with the XR500?
- Disabling the WiFi and the firewall (if that is possible) does not disable the router.
