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...
Currently I'm on the .08 FW since .10 seemed very sluggish. No ISP modem using a CM600. NAT is set to OPEN which is why I thought PAR was abnormal but NG FW on the 8000, 8000p and 9000 also have this issue. Also after hooking up the TP-Link 8-port gigabit switch to the XR700 the lag came back in Overwatch. I took it out of the picture and things are smoothe again.
The CM600 is an ISP modem. Just probably one you bought? :smileywink:
Have you done a full factory reset on the XR after downgrading and then set NAT Filter to OPEN then run the NAT test mentioned here?

Im very curious as why the 8, 8P and 9 also have this issue. I'm seeing this with another model I have. Full Cone should be seen if set to OPEN. :smileysad:

The CM600 is not an ISP assigned modem but it is a cable modem. ( https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/cable-modems-routers/CM600.aspx ). My ISP (Cox) does not offer this modem but does recommend it - Most ISP modems Cox offers are Arris or Motorola. I had an R7800, R8000, R8000p and a friend of mine has the R9000, appart from the R7800 they all report as PAR when set to Open. It's Netgear having random dev teams patchwork their FW together like a quilt. It's not good practice imho. Everytime I upgrade/downgrade FW I always do a hard reset of the router and re-configure, tends to alleviate issues.
What version of FW do you have on the R7800?
Do you know what the last FW version you had that worked with Full Cone?
Ya, Last issue I saw was with my CBR40, exhibited same issue. I worked with NG to get it fixed. I now see with with another model I have and one user on a different forum mentioned same thing. I've asked NG to look into this. This seems to be propagating across the router lines.
I use ISP Modem loosly to ask people what modems they have connected to there ISP. :smileywink:
I understand. I tend to just ask my clients what modem/router they have. They usually tell me if it's an ISP issue or something they've bought. I RMA'd the 7800 as the QoS didn't work with Roku devices. The R8000 was RMA'd due to lack of muscle and also the R8000P because of multiple FW issues. I've since given up on the standard "Nighthawk" line and went to the "Pro Gaming" line. I don't remember what FW I was using on the R7800 because it was Beta from L3. I also did not get a chance to test the NAT on that device BUT on the R8000, R8000P, R9000, and this XR700 the NAT is always PAR no matter what you set it.
