How to make it work perfectly with dsl modem
I have a cheap single dsl (modem/router) combo which works fine to me , and recently I jumped to modern warfare
but I awalys get connected to EU servers although we have a couple servers in the middle east
So I wanted to use geofilter funcionality , but
With my cheap (modem/router) do I will get the best out of xr500 ??
I mean I have an up to 100 mbit connection but I only receive like 70 mbit with my current (modem/router)
do my internet speed,ping will get enhanced by any means ??
or just the xr500 will monitor and route my traffic regardless of what kind of connection do I have

- A modem will just pass all the traffic to the router so it will absolutely work with the XR500. It's hard to say whether your loss in speed is just down to the ISP or the modem, that may be something to get in contact with the ISP about. A router cannot increase your speeds that's down to the ISP. The XR500 will help you lower your ping by eliminating local congestion and allowing you to choose the closest servers to you which will improve your online gaming experience.
