Hello,

So I recently bought a newer router and modem for better gaming connection/speeds. I bought the XR500 and the CM1000.

Currently we are paying for 150mbps Download and 10mbps Upload. With the ISP provided Gateway, we got about 110 Download and 10 Upload speeds on speedtest.net. After switching to the XR500 and CM1000, Speedtests say im getting 73mbps Download and 8mbps Upload. Not sure what is causing the slower speeds? We are using Suddenlink for ISP (Cable connection).

Also the GeoFilter Does not seem to work. I set it to my state, While playing Modern Warfare on my PC, Im still getting paired to people across the US. Even though its set to 300 miles (Covering my whole state). Ive tried adding my PC to the Devices and that seems to have not effect.

The Qos doesnt seem to work either unless im reading it wrong. I set the phones we have on our internet to 4mbps download and on the Netword Snapshot, It still shows them peaking at 7Mbps (Past what I set for them). Anti-Bufferbloat is set to the reccommended 70% for Upload and Download.

While playing on Modern Warfare tonight, My ping was jumping from the average 70-90 to 400-500+. Causing Rubberbanding in game and massive Lag spikes (Didnt do this prior to today). But at the time we had an Xbox One playing Warzone, Me on my PC playing Modern Warfare, a phone streaming Netflix and a Phone watching a video on Google.

In Qos Ive tried setting the Xbox and PC to have 30% bandwidth each, and the other devices have roughly 4% each. Am I setting that correctly? PC and Xbox are on a Wired Connection, everything else is WIFI.

Ive also tried changing my DNS servers to Preferred 1.1.1.1, Alternate 1.0.0.1 In windows. AND in the DumaOS Software the Primary is 1.1.1.1, Secondary is 1.0.0.1, Third is 8.8.8.8. With no change in latency/Speeds.
