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...
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.
Still having issues with opening the iPV6 on the xbox and with latency spikes during gameplay.. Anyone have any other settings I could try tweaking? It's definitely this router causing the latency as when I'm hooked up to the modem directly, I do not have these issues. Just bought this router back in July.
