Hey,
i bought the nighthawk xr500 gaming router with mesh extender a while ago, i followed their setup guide on youtube.
Almost everything works fine, the problem is when i use my ps4...
i can't connect to a party chat easily, meaning it will load either extremely long (+- an hour before it connects by itself) sometimes it doesn't connect, and sometimes people can't connect when i host the party...
this gets worse in games, i can't connect to servers half of the time, like pubg, destiny, spellbreak... strangely it works fine for non f2p games..
i tried changing my dns to google's dns, but that doesn't do anything at all.
I'm at a complete loss here, as in i'm about to just throw the router in the garbage because i can't seem to fix it haha
If anyone knows how to fix these issues your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Rif.: XR500 and mesh extender
Try this, open the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 (not all the providers have got the same), go on Wi-Fi tab and turn off the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. You must do this cause with both Wi-Fi connections active on modem and router you will get in conflict. Also, if you don't use a 2.4 Ghz connection, turn it off from the router and leave the 5 Ghz only active (is better).
Now, i will give you the right setup for playing on PS4 with games like Destiny 2:
Go on the Geo-Filter tab and then:
Turn off Restricted Mode
Turn off Automatic Ping Host
Turn off Fast search
Zoom factor 2.5
Ping 0
On the right, where there is the distance, put 111 km and then set the ping in the Pacific Ocean but not too far or you will crash every time.
Click on Add Device and select your PS4, turn it on and then on the map will appear a triangle, select and authorize it.
Leave it on filter mode.
Now every time you will join in a party, you will have to wait few seconds for hear everyone.
Oh yea, just to let you know about Destiny, Bungie has recentely released an update that causes some problems for who has got a router. Netgear will release soon an update to resolve this issue.
