NIGHTHAWK R7000 gaming lag
hey guys just needing some help. im in australia with nbn, speeds of 23Mbps, upload of 3-4 mbps i quite often play fifa on xbox one on a wired connection. we often have guests and family over a...
Hi Striker8881,
1. What is the firmware version of the router? make sure it is on the latest.
2. Try to perform a factory reset on the device and manually reconfigure.
But as far as I know and iv tried previously, when the TG-1 is in bridge mode I can't access the GUI? And I use the ping tool on 10.1.1.1 and it doesn't read anything?
And I use a mac as our home computer đđŹ

The puzzle here is figuring out if the router is the cause of the latency problem or if the issue is upstream (for instance the ISP link.) You could try putting the TG-1 in router mode (keeping everything connected as it is), and then measure the latency I guess.
sorry i didnt reply till now
Yer bridge mode was added late last year.
i tried reseting the modem to get test it but i was having troubles getting a connection so i just put it back in bridge mode.
i tried speaking to IInet twice and i got hung up on once and then spoke to someone that had no idea about anything and told me to "disconnect my xbox if its causing connection issues"
So frustrating
i tried doing a trace route? ( for the first time) to easo.ea.com (which is the ea servers for fifa which i play?)
now im not 100% sure what that means or what its supposed to be so hopefully someone here can tell me.

traceroute sends out three packets (pings) to each device on the path, and gives you all three times.
1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 7.618 ms 116.618 ms 119.761 ms
means it took ~7 ms for the first ping to reach the router and come back, then ~116 ms for the second ping, and ~119 for the third. Though the latency overall is larger still - best case was 272 ms to reach the ea server, the other two were well over a second. 272 ms is about what should be.
You do need need a bit careful on interpreting these results - a lot of devices make responding to ping a low-priority request, giving other traffic priority.
Over 100 ms to reach your router is certaining pointing towards a problem on the connection path to the router (or the router itself). Is it easy to try a different ethernet cable between the xbox and the router? You could also try moving the router end of the cable to a different lan port.
