What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.

Still suffering with horrendous lag when other devices in the house are streaming video. No update on firmware in two years, still on a beta version. XR500 has been updated multiple times, as have R1 and R2 and XR1000. Seriously peaved with the lack of support on this router that cost a bloody fortune and was advertised to solve all my gaming issues. Can anyone advise me on a better router with better customer support?
