I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is
I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is, but I have been having a HORRIBLE time gaming with this router. I have Frontier Fiber FiOS at 2 gigabit speed, and have to literally reboot the router mid-sessions almost EVERY time I play an online game like ARC Raiders, Fortnite, Helldivers 2 or other multiplayer online game. I'm using a PS5 Pro plugged directly into an ethernet port on the router (no wireless ever) using a top-end 3ft cable from Infinite Cable, have set up on the PS5 Pro to use the CloudFlare DNS on the PS5's advanced network settings, assigned the PS5 a pre-set IP address and put that IP address in for the DMZ, turned off QoS, IPv6, and still am having network-wide crashes where every device - including things like family iOS devices - losing access to things like Facebook and YouTube which - again - requires a full router restart. I have the latest publicly available version of the firmware as well and it has not helped any. This is insane that a $600 router is this unreliable.RS700 VPN Service certs incomplete?
I've been setting up NoIP and the VPN Service on my RS700. I'm on firmware version V1.0.9.6_2.0.100. After much tinkering and following much of the helpful advice here, I have a connection that works. However, I am getting this error in the log, which I have seen others post about but update the firmware seems to be the solution(?). I'm on the latest firmware. Thu Oct 23 17:12:39 2025 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info. When I add remote-cert-tls server to my .ovpn file, which in my understanding is good practice to include, my connection fails: Thu Oct 23 17:15:09 2025 Certificate does not have key usage extension Thu Oct 23 17:15:09 2025 VERIFY KU ERROR I've stopped started the VPN Service multiple times, re-copied the config files etc but can not get the connection working with remote-cert-tls server in my .ovpn file. The certificate provided by the router seems to be missing the necessary Key Usage (KU) flags. How do I fix this, please?RS700 sending BDPU on WAN
Supposedly this was fixed on other models but I just got a MikroTik and its BDPU guard got tripped and the port it was on got blocked and this is on the latest firmware 1.0.10xx firmware. The switch's traffic stats show incoming BDPU packets on the port that the R700 is connected to.
