XR500 BO6 is not in Ping Heatmap
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR500-Black-Ops-6-no-ping-on-PC/m-p/2407929 The link above is from the previous discussion with the sameish issue. It was resolved, ...
Not sure what you mean by beta QoS, the QoS on the beta is no different to the public firmware QoS. The version you're on is a security update, the router would have auto updated you - this is probably why the cloud has become updated as well as you're not on the beta version so upgrade back and see if that works. Btw you don't have to turn off QoS when you're done, just set it to Auto Enable and when you stop playing Congestion Control will stop applying.
There was an option in QOS that gave you percentages after running 10 tests. I can't remember what it was called, so I just called "beta QOS" lol
If I leave auto-enabled, or never on, my download speeds have always been messed up. You guys have tried helping me fix it, but nothing has worked since I got this 5 years ago. I just turn it off after playing COD, and everything works as it should. I only turn it on for COD because of the Chicago server. All my other games work fine using the closest server to me.
If I go back to the beta version, won't it just auto-update me again?- Oh I see, the Auto QoS option! Fair enough!
It would but on the firmware update page, once you've gone back to the beta there is an option to disable auto updatesAuto-Setup is what the QOS thing is called 🙂
I went back to the beta, but the game is still basically unplayable.
This is what I have tried today:I have tried the polygon around specific servers (closing COD then reopening it after each attempt)
I have tried a few servers together (put the polygon around multiple states)
I've tried always, auto-enable, never in QOS
I've tried Geo-filter on, and QOS off
I've tried QOS on (all three option) and Geo-filter off (it got worse)
I've tried QOS off and Geo-filter off (it got worse)
I've tried switching my PC to PlayStation in Device Manager (you guys told me to try that in the past)
I've tried a bunch of different percentages in QOS (restarting after each one)
I've tried auto-setup in QOS several times
I went back to the beta firmware instead of using the newest firmware
I even tried servers in Cali (I live by Chicago) because they have the highest ping (a little worse delay)
It seems like nothing is working, and my game is lagging badly. I non-stop get shot by one or two bullets but it takes me damn near a whole clip to kill somebody. It seems like there is about a 1 - 2 second delay. I have been killed by lethals that I never saw. I watched the kill cam and it looks like I'm playing like a noob just walking right into lethals. I know the kill cams are generated by what the server thinks happened but it has happened too many times today.
Any other suggestions?
