Xbox One settings to improve lag/performance

Hi Blue Cheese!

 

I work for the developers of DumaOS, the unique software which the XR500 has. So I will give you my perspective and it's then obviously up to you to decide if it's worth investing into the XR500.

 

Lag in games, especially Destiny, is normally caused by one of four things:

 

1. The distance from you to ther server / host of your game. The further away the server is, the higher your 'ping', and this is what causes so much delay
2. Other devices in your home using all your bandwidth. This creates congestion, and will significantly slow your game down
3. Other laggy players in your game. Even if you have a great connection, other players with bad connections need to be compensated by the game to make it playable for them. This can bring you down
4. Your basic connection quality. Most people have a very good connection, but say you lived in a remote area, this can be poor

The XR500 is designed from the ground up to fix the first three causes:

 

1. The Geo-Filter guarantees you a local connection, blocking distant hosts to get you a low ping
2. The QoS has the complete toolset to prevent other devices from using all your bandwidth. It also automatically prioritizes your gaming connection 
3. Allow & Deny can be used to block other laggy players in Destiny, so you won't constantly be matched up with them
4. Nothing a router can do about 4 - but as I say, this isn;t a problem for most people
