XR500 compatible with sky fibre
Hi there if I decide to buy the XR500 will it work on sky fibre pro ? Any help appreciated
Hi Cwinston, I replied to the post you made on the Netduma forum :)
Hi Guys after weeks of being frustrated I have gone through loads of networking videos, tests etc etc.
I believe the issue I have been having after monitoring the network monitor for an hour whilst playing games is that this might have something to do with the PS4.
I have set the PS4 in DMZ mode and port triggering and hyper traffic prioritised this is also in duma os as well. I do get open nat which is good.
However looking at the network monitor every device except the PS4 seems to get prioritised bandwidth more eg Netflix, separate computer I have tried qos at 70/70 giving full priority to the PS4. However as soon as a device is on I lose all my bandwidth to that.
It seems strange because when I have used an Ethernet to my laptop and played a game the router does what it is supposed to and puts all the bandwidth to that device.
However on my ps4 with Ethernet it seems to be getting pushed to the bottom of the queqe I have tried to reboot router to no avail I have even tried to reset sky router back to factory settings.
I do not understand why I cannot get the router to play all with the PS4 I have also tried multiple ports and Ethernet cables.
Can you please help!!!!

- i'm not really sure I understand what you mean by getting low priority. As long as it's Traffic Prioritization is active then it is ahead of everything else on your network. That does not mean it gets more bandwidth. Games do not require much bandwidth to run efficiently.
If there are devices connected to the hub rather than the XR500 then that could QoS to not work at full capacity as it can't control those devices. Are you experiencing lag on the PS4? What's your average ping on the Geo-Filter when playing a game?
