Good to hear, thanks for the update!

It's not a necessity but you can if you would like to

I've not heard anything but I will chase the team, thanks for the reminder!

Have you specifically split the WiFi bands and connected to the 5GHz? Overall 2.4GHz is better for stability, do you have a better experience with that on the latest version?

All the firmware versions can be found here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/xr1000 the only differences between the versions though are security fixes basically. I'd guess that you need to enter your expected/paid for speeds now and then it will work fine. You can do so in the Congestion Control menu

Great to hear that, thanks for the feedback!

It doesn't really matter the bufferbloat result you get in this setup because any of the devices connected to the TP could cause you to lag on the R3 so I wouldn't stress over the value too much

@dmessn22 I can't see how an update would specifically stop a matchmaking playlist from working but I suspect if you upgrade again it would work fine

Understandably you want devices to have access to the other 1.5Gbps you pay for but it does mean that the R3 isn't controlling your entire network which means getting a good result on the bufferbloat test is very difficult. From a purely best connection standpoint for gaming you should have the TP-Link connected to the R3 instead so it can control your network but it would mean losing access to that extra speed.

That's great to hear, thanks for the update and you're very welcome!

You should be able to force the London servers which will play better for you

Reboot the router then try updating either via the in built tool or by uploading manually and it will work

Please make a new topic for your issue and include the time the disconnect happened so we can match it to the logs

Okay thanks, I'll pass that on to the team
