Hello So i am having an issue setting up my Nighthawk xr500 i play competitive CoD (Call OF Duty) and need the best (Fastest Settings) also there a few Amazon firesticks in my house and i Stream my G...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the XR is connected too?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What freqency are the sticks connected too?
What game console do you have? How is it connected?
alright so i did everything you said and i havent checked for a difference yet but how does limiting my bandwith to 70% up and down work to give me the lowest ping and what about devices that need that speed does me limiting the sliders take away from my speeds like i get 470 down without limiting my speeds but when i drag the slider to 70% it brings it down to 323 download
- It ensures that no one device can saturate your bandwidth, ensuring your ping stays low. You won't notice much difference with speeds other than on a speed test
ok so if while im streaming its lowering my speeds so im only getting 2.84 out of 8.4 upload on my pc now the obvious thing would be toup the upload speed allocation to 3.5 upload since i stream at 3500 bitrate but wouldnt that be making other devices in my house slower?
- You should have a total of 8.4 when using Anti-Bufferbloat at 70% so then if Bandwidth Allocation has share excess enabled for both download and upload your stream should be able to take the 3.5 upload it needs if other devices don't need it. If not then allocate that and try it. If still an issue then disable share excess on upload. Most devices don't use upload a lot so they shouldn't be impacted.
