XR500 Wireless Constantly Slows/Disconnects
I just recently replaced my Aeris DOCSIS 3.0 Modem and Asus AC66RU Router with a Netgear CM1000 and XR500 when I upgraded to Xfinity Gigabit, and so far it has been a nightmare.
Wired works fin...

Very sorry to hear that. I'm hoping this downtime has not affected too many people and hopefully was just a one off. I hope that you will consider the router again in future.I hope for other people's sake it was just me, but it sounds like the system isn't passing RMA information to the warehouse at all...so I am assuming this has to be affecting more than just me. The L2 Support agent "Oliver" I spoke with Saturday still has not contacted me. I spent 2.5 hours waiting on the phone yesterday and being put on 20+ min holds constantly by support while they "looked into stuff" to walk away with the same Oliver will get back to you response. That they can't do anything on their end other than email the warehouse.
I took my XR500 back today since Best Buy had one AC3100 left. It took less time to set it up than to write this post, but the biggest fact is it works. I am capping out at around 967Mpbs compared to the 985Mpbs I was seeing on the XR500, and the interface is dated but gets the job done -- but it works which is something my XR500 never did.
Thank you for your help Fraser. Maybe NetDuma will make its ways to Asus someday?
Can’t play anything I test my connection and it’s giving me like 25 download speed on my ps4 which is good used to get like 9 I’ve set up dumo os and the geo filter and when I tried to play smite and fortnite I’ve kicked to the homescreen and it says internet disconnection I really don’t understand why
- Hi Gio, this is different from the original post but I'll explain. Both Smite and Fortnite you're able to select the regions on the game. So you don't need Filtering Mode for Smite, use Spectating Mode. Fornite however you can use it to force the closest server to you in the region. The way the game works is it will only try to connect to a server once its in the loading screen so thats the earliest opportunity to block it. So continue searching until you get a game with the server you want. Alternatively you could switch to Spectating Mode and quit until you see the server you want.
