Hey, welcome to the forum!
The closest server to you is located here: 
I don't really know what the quality of internet is like in Alaska but that's not too far away generally. With the router you could force that every time - not saying it would definitely a good server but it is the closest. Closer to home the router would eliminate any local congestion to make the connection as good as it can be given the circumstance.

From what I can see they deal with a lot of AI and IOT devices so what you've said makes sense and I doubt your dishwasher would be trying to access the interface!
For a gig connection you don't really need to use QoS as you're very unlikely to have local congestion but you could start on 70% upload/download with Auto Enable so it only applies when you're gaming and then leave everything else on QoS as is.

I've responded to the topic that you created.
Thank you for your input. That issue does not affect getting internet straight away, if the issue does appear it is something that occurs after some time, not fresh out the box preventing an internet connection. The DHCP doesn't prevent a connection but causes it to drop, therefore they are different issues. It's in beta right now so that's not clear at all. I get you are frustrated but I'm the one who helps with peoples issues and tries to get them resolved, I read everything all the time so I know the minute differences between issues that make them different. I don't create the software or determine release times, I just try to help.

I think probably on that one that now with the polygon you can focus on forcing the servers you want rather than having previously to deal with any bad ones due to the radius. Thanks, you stay safe too!

Gracias por esto, primero actualice al último firmware que publiqué en el foro beta de Netgear y luego restablezca los valores de fábrica y vea si todavía tiene el problema.

Perfekt! Dann bin ich froh, dass es sich nicht um ein Problem aus meiner Seite handelt. Ich war mir unsicher, weil ich zum ersten Mal, ein Gerät mit LAN verbinde, welches ich zum Spielen brauche.
Ausserdem sind diese Werte tatsächlich nur Schätzungswerte. Ich habe dies auch getestet. Wenn ich zum Beispiel ein Spiel herunterlade, sehe ich, dass es 100 MB/s herunterladet. Umgerechnet sind das 800 Megabit/s. Wenn ich dann ein Speedtest mache, zeigt es mir zum Beispiel „nur“ 400 Megabit/s an, obwohl es weiterhin mit 100 MB/s herunterladet. 
Ich denke auch, dass Sonys Server je nach dem, vor allem zu Stosszeiten, viel mehr ausgelastet sind als sonst.

I would if possible install an app called WiFi Sweetspots if you have a mobile device like an iPhone or iPad. This is a great tool to check if throughput and if the signal is steady. 
test at say 6ft min then where the laptop is and see if the line is jumping about as well as the figure. Best to hold it still to simulate your laptop.

Is your old WiFi still present and in close proximity to the XR?

Thanks I've nudged Alex.

Hey, welcome to the forum!
You now have access, enjoy!

Great, sounds good and will do. I’ve tried this before and like you said, it’s pretty repetitive. Sometimes, it’ll move to another location just when I think I’ve got it pinned down. 

I don't have a date but I've chased Alex again and expressed the urgency of the issue.

Cela s'est-il produit après avoir fait quoi que ce soit avec le routeur ou juste au hasard? Débranchez entièrement le routeur de l'alimentation pendant 24 heures si possible, puis essayez s'il vous plaît, parfois cela aide avec des problèmes étranges comme celui-ci.

Select the manual option, not the cod option, so don't choose the part where it says recommended just do manual and should be good.

thanks!

Hey, welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear you're having this issue. First make sure you've upgraded to the latest firmware here: https://kb.netgear.com/000062562/XR1000-Firmware-Version-1-0-0-50 
We usually recommend a factory reset after an upgrade for a fresh install as it is more likely less issues will occur but isn't mandatory. If it happens after that reboot the router and it should load correctly.

thank you very much 

Done, cheers Fraser. 

i just fixed it by rebooting again , thank you guys is upgraded .

I've not seen that before no, there is a ping difference so it may be doing something locally at that address before moving on - no idea just a wild theory.

Yeah I can do that 

You have to allow the game in your firewall options on PC.

Hover over your network icon in the taskbar, and check that its saying 'Network' and not 'Network 1' or '2'. This was what was stopping my NAT type being open. As soon as got my network on the correct one, everything worked as it should with NAT.

I'll try that soon.  Little more difficult to try that out

@Netduma Fraser  I will do that tomorrow morning.   Thank you!
