xr500 laggy internet pauses
I've got terrible issues with wifi amd wored devices. I get horrible lag and brief pauses in my connection. Devices literally take min to load a page but speed test all are bout 17ms.....I'm on the la...
I have a gateway in bridge modem connected to the router... the speed are supposed to be 1000 down and 35 up. I'm getting close to 700/40 on wifi but not sure whats causing the lag.... xbox is unplayable a lot even tho servers are 25ms.When I playing games every thing doesn't work my nest cams go offline, xbox lags, greif pauses in the connection. I reboot and it works for awhile then goes back to being 💩 I turned off qos and not using the geo filter
If pages take a long time to load, try manually setting the DNS server on your router to 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4
In traffic priorization, add your gaming device as a games console. This will only if QoS isn't disabled.
Connect your games console via ethernet if your nest cams use wifi. You might be congesting the wifi network which is acting as a bottleneck.
- This didn't help..... even with qos off playing Xbox makes all other device disconnect until im done playing a game. I did what you said and still the same. I watched all of my google nest cams there's 5 of them go online then watch them go back online after stopping gaming.
- Here's another issue. I'm usong Xfinity gig service but cant access any Xfinity apps/services all of them say logged in but cant account until I use cellular data. I spoke with comcast numerous times and they say it's all good on their end even after coming to the house a few times. All my issues disappear a bit after rebooting. The router blocking stuff?
Possibly. It might be that there are ports that aren't making their way through correctly. UPnP should do this but it sounds like it's not.
Is this problem occuring with the TP-Link bridged or not bridged? If it's not bridges, putting the XR300 into the DMZ might be required to get this working.
