XR500 Gaming Router Lag in Game
Hey,
So I just set up this new router with a new modem and I was having large packet loss issues when gaming online.
The issue itself was oringally 10-20% packet loss when gaming off my ps4. Turning my NAT from secure to open fixed that to 0%. However, I'm still getting glitchy delays when in game from ONLY my player. Apex Legends calls it a "Predicition Error" where my character will lag back a few paces every now and then. Mostly seen in Warzone and Apex, strangely not GTA or Halo on Xbox One.
Here's the setup:
- Netgear CM500V with Voice cable modem supports up to 300mb
- Netgear XR500 Pro Gaming Router
- Xfinity 300mbs plan
- Original PS4 Connected on WiFi to 2.4
- Typical DL 150-200mbs
- Typical UL 3-6mbs
Trouble Shooting
- LAN Connection (Didn't fix packet loss, glitching issues)
- Changed NAT from secure to OPEN and fixed blatant packet loss but no glitching issue
- Turned off 20 / 40mhz co-existence
- Geo Filtering set to closest server
- QoS Set to 50% for PS4 (Upload and Donwload)
- UPnP On
Thanks for the help guys!

- What is the average ping you're getting as shown by the Geo-Filter? Are you using Anti-Bufferbloat and Traffic Prioritization on the QoS page? - Those are the options that will help the most with lag.
I've attached some picture of what i get during a CoD match. This one was peer connected but ping statyed under 50 for the most part.
- That is a really good ping, I just checked and it is a server so it's just misclassified as a peer there. What about your QoS settings?
