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...
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.
- Just some food for thought, the overwatch glitching happens when it's just my PC gaming and almost no other devices active on the router.
- Great let us know! The router can handle that many so that should be fine. That's interesting then, doesn't sound like a local congestion issue. What's the average ping you're getting to the game?
Just got home from a family outing. Installed Chrome as my son is about to play some 2k19 on the PS4 Pro (not online) and I'm about to go on some overwatch. Went to go into the admin GUI on Chrome using HTTPS and got this message:
Your current browser does not support HTTPS on DumaOS.
You have chosen to access DumaOS using HTTPS on Chrome which is not supported. Please switch to HTTP using the buttons below, or if you require HTTPS because you are accessing your router remotely, please use an alternative browser such as Firefox.
Remember this setting
I can continue with HTTPS - although I do have a message that it is not secure.
Ok. In game now playing Overwatch. Latency in game is 53ms. NetDuma tells me I'm getting 33-38ms. I didn't get to play much - it's family movie time. BUT I will keep you in the loop and let you know if I do see anymore glitching. Hopefully that did the trick. Sure would be nice to see that 33-38 in game but alas we both know that's a pipe dream living in the middle of the country. If I have anymore issues I will report back to this post.
