Re: XR500 QoS Problem

Hey all,
Playing some Warzone and Rocket League last night, I had terrible lag, packet loss, everything just constantly. Pulled up the XR500 network monitor page on a second monitor and noticed devices (two Samsung phones, an iPad and even a Kindle) with abnormally high bandwith usage, around 6 Mb/s. QoS enabled, I haven't changed any settings in the QoS as I found the default worked fine and to be honest, don't notice a difference when I have changed it in the past.
One Samsung phone was just Facebook scrolling, the other wasn't even being used, the iPad was using Netflix which explains the bandwith but has never caused an issue before because of (I'm assuming) QoS doing its job, the Kindle is literally just reading a book so I don't know what was happening there.
Any advice?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
QoS enabled, Goodput enabled, Duma Classified Games with, "When high priority traffic detected" but switching that to always on made no change.
Yeah I don't think it was background updates though as it would have to be massive for those devices to be hogging 6 Mbps which is way above what they would normally need. Even then, shouldn't QoS be like, "You don't need all that, but the PC that's gaming does" or do I have the function of QoS wrong?

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
I did notice tonight when the problem was happening again, Warzone wasn’t triggering the “High priority traffic detected” indicator on the QoS page. Looked at forwarding the ports but honestly I got confused, could you give me a quick how-to? TCP ports are: 3074, 27014-27050 and UDP ports are: 3074, 3478, 4379-4380, 27000-27031, 27036. How would I enter those and into what fields? I have an open NAT but can’t hurt to see if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
If it wasn't on Always then it won't have been applying so make sure it's set to that. Okay let us know how you get on.

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
Hey @Netduma-Fraser hope you're all good,
So I managed to track the unnamed devices down by their MAC, for some reason devices that I had already set up on the network and renamed in the Device Manager had renamed themselves. Weird. Maybe an update on the devices caused it or something.
I've experimented with different slider settings and tested the "Always On" and "When High Prioirty Traffic Detected" when gaming but the QoS still seems to be letting my bandwith just go where it wants. The only solution to this I've found has been to disable "Share Excess" option and hike up the bandwith allocation for my PC. Not the most ideal when others in the house are streaming but seems like the only option right now.
The Ethernet light on my XR500 has been flashing Orange the past few days, even before making these changes. I'm still getting a connection to my PC on the Ethernet so I'm not sure what's happening there?

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
So my ISP provider is Sky, the Sky Q Hub they provide isn't compatible with the XR500 without it causing a double NAT (Which apparently is not a good thing for gaming) so I have a Draytek Vigor 130 as the Modem. So from the Master Socket, DSL cable into the Draytek Vigor 130, Ethernet Cable from the Draytek Vigor 130 (in bridge mode) into the XR500.
Yep, all devices connected. Double-checked that when figuring out what the unnamed devices were.
Just checked and yeah for some reason it's limited to 100Mbps, will get a new Ethernet ordered within the next few days to see if that fixes it, any recommendations?

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
I'll look into that! I can't give an accurate reading of the speeds yet as I'm in contact with Draytek regarding issues with the speeds of the Vigor 130, not been the easiest to resolve though, support isn't really interested. Ah bonus, thanks Fraser, I'll get to work on the Sky hub!

Re: XR500 QoS Problem
Hey Fraser, just want to make sure I'm going about this the right way. Am I using the DMZ feature on the Netgear XR500 or on the Sky Q Router?
Also in response to your earlier question about setting the QoS to Always and 50%, yeah if I apply both of those I get about half the speeds I should.
