I upgraded my internet so I factory reset (it never will use the new speed if I don't) but then I got the device not found error. My PS5 lagged worse than before I bought the XR500 a year ago (8/20) since I can't use the QOS. When I did the factory reset it updated the firmware to .130 and I got the error so I went back to .120 and reset everything again and still the same error. You would think for a $300 product you wouldn't have issues like this but now I'm stuck with it. I'm really wishing I took it back after the first one didn't work and just got my money back.
Also after factory resetting everything twice, my QOS settings never changed. The congestion slider and the allocation have stayed the same but devices, Geo-Filter, etc all reset.
I use Chrome to access DumaOS and I have cleared everything and still same error.
Since I'm stuck with this router now, can you please assist?
Everything is back up and running again and no error. Thank you 🙂
I do still have a few other issues.
I only play COD: Vanguard on PS5. My game was running fine until about a week ago and now there is like a second delay in 9/10 matches. I have Geo-Filter set to 320 miles and there are two dedicated servers in there. I have also tried the Polygon Mode with just the two servers. I have tried without Geo-Filter and it's even worse. I have the PS5 in Lan Setup. I have tried Congestion Control from 69-90% and I have tried gaming bandwidth from 30-90 up/down and nothing has helped.
Also if I don't reboot the router before I play I wait 5+ minutes to find a match but if I reboot before I turn on the PS5 and I have no issues other than the lag.
If you need anything else to help me please let me know.
In-game ping is usually 23-35 but the Geo-Filter never has a ping with the dedicated servers. I know it's been an issue for like a year. I remember reading about it but can't remember what was said about it.
If I go past the 320 then ping is 50-100 and then I really start to rubber band.
I know the ping is low and I SHOULDN'T have lag but there is. Some examples are: people come around corners but I'm already getting shot or I'm using a throwing knife and it goes "through" the person because of the lag.
It was so bad in Cold War that I couldn't even play so I just played zombies.
I'm willing to try anything so that I have no lag or rubberbanding.
I don't recall the ping not appearing maybe a few times but should only be for a few servers every so often, not a consistent thing, can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing on the ping panel?
What settings are you using for Traffic Prioritization?
I won't be able to provide a SS right now because I'm at work but I can send that tonight when I get off work.
For Traffic Prioritization, I have the DumaOS Classified Games on and the PS5 under gaming/voice(WAN). I have tried turning them off and I removed the PS5 from there too but no change.
How is the PS connected to the router via ethernet or WiFi? If ethernet you can add it using Normal (WAN) if WiFi you can use Gaming/Voice (WAN) it does make a difference which one you use
I will try to disable it tonight and let you know. I know I did that a while ago but I honestly don't remember if it changed anything.
If I expand my radius and play on servers/peers that aren't the two by Chicago the ping is way worse along with rubberbanding and it being "glitchy". It is unplayable if the host isn't close.
Use Ping Heatmap see if there are any more around you with a bit higher ping, up to 60ms is good to play on, some say a slightly higher ping puts you on the right side of lag compensation
I have tried that in the past but anything over a 30 ping is basically like having dial up internet. People I think I'm shooting at aren't even there or I have a full clip in me before I even see a person.
You can reset Bandwidth Allocation, gaming barely uses any bandwidth usually less than 1Mbps and certainly won't use 400. Set download and upload to 1Mbps worth on Congestion Control and see how you get on.
I left the reallocation as default then I changed up/down to 1 and did 60, 70, 80, 90, 100% and same thing.
I took off Auto-Ping and it showed the ping for the dedicated server for about 30-40 minutes then it stopped doing it again.
I connected to a server in Ohio and the ping was bouncing from 105 - 175 so the game was basically unplayable.
I went back to the Polygon and noticed there is a dedicated server basically in Lake Michigan (not a server when I use ping heat). I have attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
I'm going to try to block it and see if it helps anything. I will update later tonight.
Don't change your bandwidth speeds, just change the percentages to give you 1Mbps worth of download/upload (you can see what speed the percentage will give you on the right). The way you did it likely throttled it too much. If it's not the game server (which is isn't in that screenshot) then its either needed for authentication or isn't important.
