traffic prioritizatoin xr500

is there an issure with the beta firmware you have been handing out and the traffic priorization not working correctly? i have tested with two differnent games on pc (battlefield 1 and lol) and neither one are being detected as high priority. i have tried with and with out them added as a rule in the traffic prioritization tab. i ask because although im seeing decent ping numbers, i am still getting in game lag. and as far as i can tell the router is not giving games high priority.

  • LoL yes but thats not specific to software, they will have updated something. Either way if you change your device to a console and add it then it'll work or add manual ports for the games

      thanks, that worked. but lets be honest, thats a pretty sloppy solution....why would one ever think to turn their pc into a console(i choose PlayStation) so that the router would detect a pc only game...and why not just have the beta with a read me in the downloads section, it seems incredibly inefficient to have to come to a forum and ask and then wait , not to mention slowing you guys down from actually fixing stuff
