XR500 severe packetloss with Discord
I got the XR500 today and I'm having the most absurd issue ever with Discord, with my previous router it did not happen The computer is connected with ethernet to the router When I run the Discord ...
I disabled QoS completely, did not help
how exactly do I disable Geo Filter completely? I turned the range to the maximum and made sure no devices are selected but it did not help with the Discord problem
I also discovered that I'm having a much more severe problem with the router, I have my work from home laptop connected with Ethernet to the router and my desktop is also connected with Ethernet to the router, I run a Windows Remote Desktop when I want to work on my laptop from my desktop
Now I am getting freezes every few minutes, the session freezes - the picture does not update but my inputs are registered because I can see their action after I reconnect.
I did a quick google search and disabled UDP and it seems to have reduced the frequency of the freezes but it still freezes, needless to say this did not happen with the previous router
The way you disabled was fine, may be a port issue for both. In WAN Settings switch NAT from secured to open then reboot the PC, does it work then?
NAT was set to open but it did not help both issues, same as before
- In WAN Settings disable SIP ALG and untick disable IGMP Proxying and see if that helps.
Netduma-Fraser first of all I want to say that I appreciate you helping me on Sunday to solve this issue
I tried these options and it did not help.
However I kept trying to experiment with QoS and I think I made an advacement
I turned QoS and traffic optimization on, I disabled traffic optimization for all devices and then turned it on specifically for my desktop, packet loss went from ~60% to sub 10%
It did not help with my windows remote desktop picture freezes, I even set the laptop[that appeared twice in the traffic optimization tab, I assume one for ethernet and one for wifi] but it did not help, it still occasionally gets picture freeze
