XR700 Glitching games during gameplay
So I bought this router about 3 days ago. First to get to the admin page (192.168.1.1) took a very uncomfortably long time and makes you wonder if you have a bad unit. Once the setup wizard actuall...
What web browser were you using? Were you accessing using HTTPS?
You don't need to add the consoles to Traffic Prioritization as DumaOS Classified Games does that, you're prioritizing it twice essentially which could be leading to your issues.
How are your consoles connected, wired or wireless? If wireless, 2.4/5GHz? Are ALL devices connected to the router, none to upstream modem/router?
Also could you use paragraphs please if you're going to write a lot, it was quite hard to read!
I use Edge and IE. I was accessing by IP - the default is HTTP but when I force HTTPS it gives a Cert error. I took out the 3 consoles in Traffic Prioritization and everything is gigabit hard-wired except the baby cam, Nintendo Switch, our phones (5), some TV/Roku's (5), and our laptops/tablets (8). I have 2 towers (Work Server / Plex Server) directly on the router, I have a cluster of 4 PC's, PS4Pro, TV and the a printer on one switch, I have the Xbox One along with a TV on another Switch and I do have another switch for the garage in case I need to bring some bench work home. As for the topology I'm using a CM600 in front with the XR700 directly behind and as I stated I have 2 towers and 3 gigabit switches on the router.
Sorry about paragraphs I'll try harder at grammar.. Oh, I also have lowered my speed from what the speedtest gave me to what I'm paying on my ISP which is 300/30. Hope this helps and I'll let you know my findings when we use the router a bit more with the changed settings.
- Could you use Chrome please, that's our recommended browser so you should notice a difference there.
Okay that sounds good thanks. When gaming how many devices are gaming at the same time?- Ok, I'll install chrome and use that see if it's an improvement. Also when gaming can be anywhere from 1, 2 or 3 devices gaming at the same time. With this setup though we could eventually have up to 6 gaming devices gaming at the same time and with 4 kids it'll be just a matter of time.
