XR500 Still experience considerable lagging in game.
I have the XR500 Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router. Listed below is a rundown of information that will (hopefully) help someone aid me in resolving my issues. Firmware:XR500 V2.3.2.40 ISP: Google Fibe...
I just returned it.
Thanks for the reply. When I got the service I thought that having such speeds would easily fix any of the issues I was having while gaming. But, sadly that wasn't the case. The XR500 has made it only marginally better. But, wouldn't disabling those features essentially be like having the same setup I had before spending 300 dollars?
Additionally, I have tried adjusting the badwidth but not without the DumasOS on so I will try that and let you know what happens.
Thanks again.
QoS has been under debate on weather it makes any difference on a pipe as big as 1Gb. Remember the max bandwidth in games isn't that big. I've seen xbox games use 5Mb on some CoD games. Maybe newer games use a bit more. Also remember that QoS is meant for the Upstream mostly. Handling of many upstream data traffic with multiple devices is priority. Espeically on slower ISP speeds, 200 and lower. 1Gb speeds, kind of seems like there is no need for much management if you only have a few devices online at the same time. I had 1Gb service last year with my XR and a few other routers. Never had a need to use QoS on it.
