I have set up the router fully.
The network monitor shows one computer to be using all the bandwidth. This computer is either streaming or browsing, it is never gaming or using Skype/Facetime. ...
My device uses very little bandwidth whilst gaming. Almost every other device in the house downloads, and so uses the full bandwidth.
The total bandwidth of the internet is between 2.5 and 4.5 mbps.
Always mode has changed nothing, as I have had it on a while now to no effect.
I do not torrent.
It is crucial that I can somehow solve this because the other devices always have downloads running in the backgrounds which activate upon connecting to the router, which their users are unaware of. When I am playing it uses maybe 0.2mbps or so, so I see no reason why that is not being prioritised. I have also tried traffic prioritisation to no effect, using the ports for Rainbow Six Siege as listed elsewhere in the forums.
What is your exact physical setup? Are ALL devices connected to the router? Are you using VLAN, PPPoE or IPv6?
I don't know what you mean by physical setup, VLAN, PPPoE or IPv6.
My gaming pc is connected by ethernet, all other devices are connected via wifi.
But they're all connected to the XR500 and not to the upstream router/modem?
And on the Network Setup page, how are you connected? Did you have to enter a login to get the router working?
And on the IPv6 page, is it set to Disabled or not?
I believe they are connected to the xr500, as the only wifi channels available are the 2.4 and 5 ghz channels labelled NETGEAR85 and NETGEAR85-5 or something.
I did some kind of login for the modem and router, though I can't remember specifics.
Ipv6 reads: Internet connection type - disabled.
