Slow upload speeds with xr500
I ussed to get 32-35mbps upload with my previous Linksys router. Since buying my XR500, I have been getting 2-3mbps upload. This is occurring both wired and wireless. And I’ve noticed it more on the X...
I'm having the same issue with my PS4 where when I see my game lagging (FIFA) I'll disconnect and do a connection test and sure enough the upload speed will be at 2-3 mbps. Not sure why it's doing this which it occurs frequently but not constants. I am using ethernet with my Net Gear Gigabit cable modem (32x8) DOCSIS 3.1 which is then connected to my XR500 and then to my PS4 pro. I have changed the QoS settings to 70%, done port forwarding, Opened DMZ, changed the Geofiltering and I am still getting inconsistent upload speeds. Any help would be appreciated.
- 2-3mbps is absolutely plenty for gaming so I don't think thats what your issue is. Whats the ping you're getting to the game as shown by the Geo-Filter?
The ping says that it's 43 ms. I have it set to 40 on the geo filter but i get around 60-63 here and there.
They can give different readings sometimes (http://forum.netduma.com/topic/26793-black-ops-4-in-game-ping-vs-duma-ping/).
I recommend you reduce Ping Assist lower, perhaps to about 30ms. See if that then gets you lobbies more in range of the level you desire. Make sure Fast Search is disabled too.
SO when isn’t it ok to lose your upload speed by more than 90 percent and consider it ok? Lol you guys are horrible just like the isp (internet providers) who are messing everything up and expect us to always pay I’m selling this crappy router and will never purchase thrash zzz netgear product in my life what a waste of my time and money really what a joke
