Netgear R7000 nighthawk settings for xbox 1 x
So im super new to this and i am just trying to figure out the best possible settings for my xbox one x (currently using wifi for now) Im slowing learning what this QoS is for and port forwarding...
Well i ended up just factory resetting the router and now im getting around 230-240 mbps on both, latency is around 50-60 which i wish i could get a little lower, i think i might of messed up something in the QoS setup
Recommend LAN wired for gaming online if possible. If not, use 5Ghz radio if in fair to close range.
No Port Fowarding is needed if you have uPnP enabled on the router and using a Reserved IP address for the XB1 set up on the router.
Set NAT Filter to OPEN if you have more then one game console on the same router. SECURE should work fine for 1 game console.
Disable IPv6 if your ISP doesn't support this natively.
Okay so im currently using comcast as my ISP, so as far as i know the iPv6 is good to go.
Currently using the 5Ghz
not entirely sure if uPnP is enabled on my router or not, but Ive' heard
about using a Reserved IP address for the XB1 but not sure of the benefits
Been reading up on this for a couple days now, like, is setting my DNS to the google dns worth it lol i wish i new more about this stuff but im slowly getting there
What is the Mfr and model # of the ISP modem.
Modem only or modem combo unit? Modem only is recommended over combo. Combo unit will cause NAT issues with another router connected behind it.
uPnP is found under Advanced/Advanced Settings/uPnP.
You can leave IPv6 enabled then if the ISP is servicing it natively.
Use what the router gets from your ISP for now. Change DNS later of if needed.
Besure to set your XB1 to Automatic everything, don't make any changes here.
So i was using the router/modem that ISP provided which always kept resetting on me so i switched to a SURFboard SB6141 by Arris and the nighthawk router, which granted its working great but I feel there could be something i could do to optimize it even more.
