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 ...
This is even more confusing. There are no issues pinging to each of the routers themselves however you seem to get some packet loss towards the last hops on the XR but not the old router. Even though it's far away from the router so that shouldn't be affecting it. In WAN Settings could you click Disable SIP ALG please as that can affect VOIP.
It was already disabled
The following options in WAN Setup are checked:
Disable IGMP Proxying
NAT Filtering Open
Disable SIP ALG
Please look at this tracert I think its more interesting, its directly to the Discord voip server I am on
I included the old router as reference aswell
also I have noticed that the moment I started the tracert the packet loss from Discord went from 50% to 10% and this is reminding me of a issue that I had about 10 years ago, I used to play ArmA2 on a US server and sometimes I would get absurdly high packet loss and the solution to it was to run a constant ping to the server, it would somehow fix it and I have a feeling the tracert is doing the same thing here.
- You're experiencing packet loss on both there. I've never heard of an issue like that being resolved with a ping, that is really strange. My first thought is the built in Windows 'QoS' might be interfering. Follow this guide and then reboot https://www.howtoguides.org/disable-bandwidth-limit-in-windows-7-speed-up-your-internet it should work for Win 10 as well, then try please.
