Nighthawk RAX50 gaming settings
I have a Nighthawk AX6, model # RAX50 that I upgraded to for more stable gaming and working from home. Gaming console is an Xbox Series X and modem is an Arris SB8200. I've got 2 main issues going on...
Latency spikes during gaming or while speedtesting off a pc/laptop?
have you tried putting the xbox's ip address in the RAX's DMZ?
I tried doing so with the DMZ and while that opened my NAT across all games and the system itself, I'm still experiencing high latency spikes. Jumping from 40-60's range all the way up to 150+
Do you get the ping spikes/times if you've got the xbox directly wired to the modem?
You'll expect a router to increase ping a bit because its an added step in the process so I'm curious to see what it is without the router.

No I don't actually but I can't figure out how to run the router and xbox straight off the modem at the same time. The modem does have 2 ethernet ports so I would think this be possible? Another thing I've noticed if I go straight off the modem is the xbox will recognize iPV6 but does not connect that way through the router, even if the router settings have it turned on.
@BeNo I don't actually but I can't figure out how to run the router and xbox straight off the modem at the same time. The modem does have 2 ethernet ports so I would think this be possible?---Its not. most isp's only allow 1 public ip address (meaning 1 device connected). The 2 ethernet ports are for wan port aggregation (that router doesn't support). Its a rare ISP that allows more than 1 public ip address for free. Another thing I've noticed if I go straight off the modem is the xbox will recognize iPV6 but does not connect that way through the router, even if the router settings have it turned on.
