Blocked Texts
Hello, I recently noticed some of my texts are being blocked on my iphone but only when I am connected to the RS700 router. I also use Netgear Armor on the router and downloaded app on the phone. I also run Nord VPN on my phone. I do not use the Netgear Armor VPN. I only use scam alert service and email account protection on the Armor app on my phone. I tested turning off only the NordVPN but I still did not receive texts. Once I disconnected from the Wi-Fi on my phone, I get a slew of texts that I didn’t receive while I was connected. So I know it’s not the VPN. And its only this home Wifi connection. Not at work. Anyone know why? Or what to try? Thanks for any information and help.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.
