Xr500 help
i have put my Rogers cable modem/router combo (CGM4140COM) (Technicolor) in bridge mode and i have connected my xr500. I have been noticing that with my xr500 i am getting higher pings. I have read that i will need to get my old router MAC and change my xr500 MAC to my old router MAC. i have went into my rogers network settings and noticed 3 types of MAC. WAN MAC / eMTA MAC / CM MAC. i am not sure which MAC would be my old router MAC. my modem from my ISP is a modem/router combo (CABLE). How would i find out my old router MAC on my modem/router combo and would i have to take my modem/router combo out of bridge mode and unhook my xr500 to find out my old router MAC?
Also my xb6 modem/router from my isp does my home phone, tv and internet all in one. My bridge mode is enabled while connected to my xr500.
Thank you

Re: Xr500 help
so the issue seems to be with my ISP causing higher then normal pings. i posted on the forums of my ISP and others have been getting the same issue. I only connected my computer to my ISP modem/router combo (not in bridge mode) and i am getting the same ping as when i connect my XR500. so i put my ISP modem/router combo back into bridge mode and connected my XR500. with the XR500 i can reduce the bufferbloat and get A on bufferbloat. With only my ISP (XB6) modem/router i get huge bufferbloat on my upload 1000+ MS the bar just stays red on DSLreports. so for now ill keep it like this, i cant do much if it has to do with my ISP. other option would be to switch to DSL with a different provider but they only offer 5Mbps download and 680Kpbs upload im not sure if that would be worth to get. ATM i have cable but always an issue for gaming, i get 1000download and 30 upload but it always spikes and bufferbloats.
Thank you for the help !
