XR500 after one year it stop doing his main fuction of preventing lag
Nobody else had my same issue? with this firmware(V2.3.2.66) everything is **bleep**ed up??? I can't play a game that I start lag again if somebody is downloading or playing league of legends.
This is really a fraud, I bet the productors intentionally **bleep**ed up the router so we must get another new one from them. I won't buy ever again a netgear router after this. I even noticed that if you put the option "never" on Qos it sees a bit some of the games. If you put sometimes or always it doesnt work.
A programmer can't be so stupid to messed up with buttons. This is intentional.

What modem/gateway do you have?
Is it only 1 game? a certain devices?
Have you tried factory resetting and reinstalling?
Have you tried installing the DumaOS 3.0 beta firmware?
There's many members on here with DumaOS devices that still work well.
I don't have one so I can't speak of their performance or how to optimize them but there's members several on here who are.
Such as Netduma_Alex Netduma-Fraser
there's even guides.

I'll try what you said starting from the beta.
I know that I upgraded at the last update e the biggest function stop working.
Now I try the beta that I didn't know it existed,than I'll try to reset. I'll keep you update,if you don't hear me next days probably I solved.
