Netgear xr1000 high ping under load
I recently purchased the xr1000 gaming router because I thought that was the issue I was having with my connection while playing games on my pc was my old router. While this router has a TON more f...
- Yes a lot better, you were spiking into the 100's before, now it's spiking between 10-20ms so you should notice a big difference. Now just fine tune QoS as much as possible and you'll be good to go.
The router won't affect the in game location that will be down to your ISP and the routing they're putting you on - this will likely resolve itself after a certain amount of time as long as the modem isn't rebooted. What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to? Your Ping Test has quite a lot of spikes and that is to do with the ISP. Ping Under Load can be resolved by experimenting with Congestion Control percentages while set to Always, although it will only be as good as the Ping Test which is a baseline test of your connection.
Ok, yea like I said I'm not too much of a tech person and i figured that the ISP was responsible for the location just thought I'd add it to see if anyone thought it was weird and to help with my case that it is an ISP issue. So the modem is a ARRIS TM1602A and my provider is Spectrum and they are the wooooorrrssst. I did mess with the congestion control a little bit and seemed like the less I made the percentage the worse the ping got but i will run a few tests again at different percentages and share my results, thank you. I also did a speed test with ookla I will share results in case that helps (or doesn't), thanks again
