Nevermind, i found a similar post while looking through the forum, cleared browser cache and fixed the problem... please lock... Thank you

I cannot say for certain when or why this happened, but when i go to the routerlogin page everything will come up normally for about 2 seconds then it goes to this message... "You are no longer connected to your router. If your router is rebooting then keep this page open as it will automatically reconnect to the router's interface when the reboot is complete. Otherwise please check your connection e.g. you are connected to the correct router." I was having some internet issues the other day and it turned out i just needed to set the dns for the ipv4 in the ethernet properties, but i dont remember doing anything with the XR500, but ever since i made that change the other day i cannot get past that message screen on the dumaOS page, please help

Yeah geofilter absolutely works.. I was just under the impression that less ping would equal a better experience.. shortly after playing on that server.. I had a peer host at around 22-25ms right on my back doorstep according to where he showed up on my map... game was worse than the server.. after playing for awhile this morning I think I prefer the 60-80ms range... feel good.. good hit detection..

I think i prefer gameplay at pings aronud 60-70ms, just got on a dedicated server with around 30ms... it was total garbage,,

Tried changing the Mac address and the dns, separately without any luck

is there anyway at all to lower it or is that an ISP issue?

Okay here is my pingplotter, straight from modem to PC, without xr500, 0 traffic on internet, pinging twitter - avg 48ms https://www.dropbox.com/s/8j9lrnsholeq928/pingplotter-modem_only-0Traffic.png?dl=0 also did 5 speed tests to different servers close by 40-47ms

I'm at work right now.. I will run a pingplotter without the xr500 and post it later.. I'm not really in a position to move houses right now.. and to my knowledge the ISP that I have is the only cable provider in my area.. I will also research that... I initially had a modem/router combo from the ISP, when I opted to get the xr500 I went ahead and bought a brand new netgear cm600 to put in from of it.. also have cat6 ethernet cables less than 3 months old.. so I can pretty safely assume it is not a problem with the modem or cables..

Would that be an issue that I should try and speak to my ISP about?

run pingplotter without the xr500? i did that why i had it unhooked... was staying consistently around 30ms pinging google the lobby im in right now has an 80+ms connection... sucks I did however just drop my first DE-AT with the new xr-500

well is there like a golden rule for knowing when it is a server rather than a peer? I have my modem hooked directly to my computer without the xr500, and i ran about 5-6 different tests on different servers around me in all directions and the lowest ping i got on any of them was 38ms highest was 47ms I ran pingplotter to google, while hooked up directly to the modem, stayed fairly consistent around 30ms just hooked my router back up and did the same speed tests to the same servers and the ping numbers range from 48-61?? That seems odd to be that much higher

Im assuming based on some investigation i did just now that, if it is in fact a dedicated server, then the domain will be unnamed? I just turned autoping off to ping the rectangle that was showing on my geofilter and thats what it said, host type was dedicated and the domain was unnamed. I will try the wired speed test shortly to get a baseline ping number, just use the speedtest.net test or which one do you recommend? I just downloaded pingplotter, and im not 100% sure what im really looking for, I use google to ping, and i have 1 hop that is really irregular, it spikes quite frequently, and one time it caused my ping to www.google.com to spike

I don't believe I'm getting dedicated servers while I'm playing.. I believe it's p2p... everything that shows up inside of my geofilter is a little general image of a person.. Im located in the U.S. Kentucky to be exact.. I have my playstation set as a priority and my geofilter set to 600 miles. How would I know if it was a dedicated server? Sometimes a noticed what looks to be more of just a rectangle on the geofilter. I'm guessing that would be a server? Correct me if I'm wrong.. Now I'm sure like a lot of others that are fresh to these gaming routers.. I'm more/less a noob at this connection and IT lingo.. how do a get a measure for my base ping? If I run a speed test on speedtest.net the ping number it shows me is usually around 38ms.. is that a base ping number or do I need to do something else?

I just got my new xr500 set up the other day.. still trying to dial in optimal settings.. after running about 20 speed tests on dslreports trying to get the best ping numbers for up and down with least buffer bloat.. iirc I ended up around 25% down, around 100mb/s and 50% up with around 10mb/s.. I've looked and searched through the forum and I can only get an A on bufferbloat but I read that this is normal because dslreports doesn't read some of the packets right.. my ping numbers stay pretty low on the download side, but no matter where my slider was I was getting a lot of high spikes on the upload side making it hard to dial in the best settings.. The gameplay has been pretty well thus far.. I still play infinite warfare as I do not enjoy the slow gameplay of ww2.. I can't recall getting less than a 3 k/d on any game.. but I still feel like it could be better, there were definitely moments when I feel like my bullets should have connected before my opponent killed me.. My main question is more about the host ping reading on the geofilter screen.. most game that I play it is showing around 52ms, occasionally around 70ms, highest I've seen was around 100ms and I backed out before that match started.. is 52ms a decent ping number? I feel like in some of the research I've down that most people's number are quite a bit lower than mine.. something in my settings? Please advise
