Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
Sorry I misunderstood what you said yesterday. I will try to move the slider down after work and see how that goes. I blocked the "extra" server and it seemed like it did a little better. I will respond again after work when I try the slider thing.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
I did 1% down so it gave me 4mbps and I did 1% up and it gave me .4mbps. I tried with always, auto-enable and never. I also tried doing my upload at .8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0 Mbps but I still have the lag though. All it really did was take longer for me to load into the game itself.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
I haven't tried that since getting the modem and router. When I had Comcast's modem it would ping all over the place and the game was unplayable so I just played zombies solo. That is the reason I bought the router and the CM700 modem. I can try it tonight and see what happens.
I have the CM700 modem but I can't get my download speed past 500 but my upload is fine (around 40-45). I pay for 1G down and 35 up. Comcast says the signal is fine blah, blah, blah and to contact you guys. Do I need to get a better modem now that I just upgraded to gig internet?

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
I tried hooking the PS5 up directly to the modem and it lagged like crazy.
I'm getting the same speed though regardless if I go direct from the modem or through the router.
Comcast is saying the speed is "your" fault since I use a XR500 router and the CM700 modem and you are saying it's their fault 😞

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
The modem is a Netgear product also so they just keep blaming it on "your" products.
I had Comcast send me their modem/router combo but without the XR500 I was lagging, and rubberbanding. If I don't have the router my game is unplayable. I'm about a second off right now but as long as I don't have to get in a gun fight the game is still playable. I have upgraded/downgraded firmware, change settings and nothing stops the lag. It is better then not having the router at all but for $300 it shouldn't have any.
I didn't try their modem with your router because the whole reason I bought "your" products is so that I can stop paying rental fees every month and be able to play COD without rubberbanding like crazy.
Comcast has a brick and mortar store by me, so I'm going to go there later today and see if they have any suggestions.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
Using speedtest.net and the generic internet speed test that pops up with a simple Google search shows around 500-600 down but when I do a speed test through Comcast I get around 900 down. It is the same if I have my computer connected directly through the modem or through the XR500. If I run auto-detect in Congestion control or Connection Benchmark it is the same thing and I get around 500-600 down. I get 40 up consistently no matter how I test the speed which is what I should be getting. I have attached the Connection Benchmark. Should I just manually change my download to what I'm getting from Comcast's site?

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
Two questions:
So should I have a tech come out from Comcast since I'm not getting what I'm paying for? I have gig internet but I'm only getting 500-600 through the router/modem.
I have a CM1200 modem and the XR500 router. They are both able to handle that speed correct?

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new to this whole router having a way different speed than I pay for.
If I put my download speed at say 600 in Congestion Control but I pay for gig does that mean I will never get the full gig internet?

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
So does it matter if I set the Congestion Control to 600 or 1 gig for download speed?
I just want to make sure that I'm getting the fastest speed possible especially my computer since I use it for work.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
Thanks for your assistance.
Should I change any other settings on the router for better in game performance other than assigning an IP address to the PS5 and prioritizing the PS5 in Traffic Prioritization? I know I read something about assigning the PS5's IP address to default DMZ server and a few other things. Thought I would ask you since you are the expert.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
I use open nat and use the Geo-Filter. I have a box around the northern part of Illinois since that is where I am from and that is were a dedicated server is.
I have them both set to 70%. I know somewhere I read to fine tune them until you get the best results but do I have to reset the modem everytime I do that or just re-establish my connection with COD?

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
I have been testing it and it is now damn near unplayable. There is a minimum of a second delay when doing anything. I'm not sure if you play COD but the map Shipment IS unplayable because I''m dead before I even see a person. Unless I'm shooting somebody in the back or from the side the game is unplayable since the other player sees me before I even see them.
I have tried from 40% - 95% in increments of 5 for both and also tried using always and auto-enable with the same results. From 70% - 90% I was backing out of COD then going back into it so that I could establish a new connection. I didn't do that from 40% - 65% because I saw your message stating that is automatic.

Re: XR500 DEVICE NOT FOUND
My connection is stable I'm just not getting the speeds I'm paying for.
I have tried now from 1% - 95% on both with always and auto-enable and I have tired a few combos like higher percentage up than down and nothing is working. It's almost as bad as not even using the router and going straight through your modem or Comcast's router/modem combo.
The only thing the sliders are doing is lowering the up/down from speedtest.net but it's not improving the lag at all.
