Ping assist doesn't work.
I turned on Ping assist, set it to 60, and it still lets peers connect to me that are well above this threshold. What gives?
I understand they are the same besides a slightly less powerful 2.4ghz band. Everything else is identical. However I believe putting XR500 firmware might not work or cause a brick. I could be wrong but that be my experience with past routers with identical hardware but different names.
But yes, I believe they came to the concolusion on the NetDuma forum it's related to SFV. You can see the thread here.
