XR1000v2 - 2 Wired devices keep randomly showing offline in Device Manager + Other Issues
I recently got the XR1000v2 and when I was trying to set it up on all my devices and label them correctly so I knew what was what to monitor if random things would take up bandwidth, I was noticing t...
- It switches to offline when there is no active traffic and will switch back on when there is, it has no affect on the functioning of said device.
What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g. XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode
Access via the IP instead 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 and see if it happens less.
The modem is the Hitron CODA as it is one of the accepted modems my ISP allows. I'm not sure what you mean by how it is setup other than just connecting it with the ethernet cable to this router and then those particular devices are also ethernet connected.
They are both still randomly changing from online to offline even using the IP address version instead. I guess as long as they are functioning correctly it's fine but I was curious why it would do that so thank you.
But I had some other issues that I edited my post with, but it seems like the connection test finally decided to work.
However when I ran the bufferbloat test on another website I got a really bad "C" rating even though the entire point of buying this router was because it was recommended to solve that very problem when my previous router got an "A" but said it still had issues with bufferbloat. How could this one possibly be worse?
Some of the numbers I'm seeing on the Connection Test don't even make sense for how bad they are. Like this router is somehow worse than the previous router I had even though this is supposed to have all the bells and whistles to fix things and my other router was much cheaper with less features.
You can ignore what I said about the modem, that's only applicable if you're not using a pure modem.
The online/offline won't stop happening, it's just for the reason I mentioned. The IP address was for the interface saying about reconnecting. I can't see your picture until it has been moderated but the results are from using a different provider and depending on what the server is they put you on your results may differ.
Without changing anything you will get bad results, you need to adjust Congestion Control and run the test on the other site, keep experimenting with the percentages until you find what works the best.
