Update: logged in from another PC and was able to update to RC14 From my last message I already knew nothing would change w the QoS, however are there any new features here I should be taking advantage of? The Adblocker is new. However I was thinking about my problem at hand and my main question to you is this: would I be able to solve my issue by using the QoS share bandwidth options on applications instead of devices, or maybe combining them both? Seems like that’s the last option on the table, admittedly I’ve never tried using the applications tab as I’m unsure of exactly how it categorizes the activities. thanks again sir

So now I have a new problem. I updated the firmware to the intermediate, tried the beta, was unrecognized, so I tried the RC10. Now whenever I try to login to router from PC I get this screen for about a minute, then goes totally black. can login from phone just fine, but I don’t see how I can update the firmware there. thoughts? also just a note- the existing firmware I was running did indeed have the DL/UL sharing separate, however it didn’t allow me to split between all remaining devices like I wanted. Ideally I need to throttle DL/UL but share UL with everything else bc it’s more limited unfortunately. any thoughts on getting through this bricked black screen? Thank you sir

GM brother and thanks for the reply. I’ll look into it today get back when finished

i just read that forum thread, seems like a nightmare to upgrade no? is there no offical firmware release since early 2023?

Depends really. Both my GF and I work from home. She needs to be able to upload things which is the issue I ran I to before. If I could just throttle to XB only it would be great but I can’t compromise the UPload capacity for the whole house bc it’s only 12MBps. It gets fractioned too heavily with all the devices on our network (smart speakers, TV, phones, computers, gaming consoles, etc) even if they’re inactive

Needs to be low. 1-2mbps

Thank you for the response sir, for some reason I didn’t get an email notification. You have helped me several times in the past 🙏🏼 my usecase is this: I moved from a house where I had 1GB fiber to an apt building where I have 200MB Dn 12MB up. If I throttle the bandwidth allocation like I did before due to the amount of devices on my network it chokes everything into the ground and nothing works. However I need to throttle the connection to the XB so I can play even matches on EAFC, bc EA has some horrid system where they use lag compensation to Induce “artificial delay” on top of already having crap servers, making it unplayable. ive always noticed a difference in gameplay when I’ve throttled my connection in the past because of this, but now I can’t do it because essentially the rest of the house won’t work if I do lol. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated my friend

Hello all, Longtime user of XR500 here. Great piece of equipment but I can't figure out how to cap badnwidth to a single device (in this case xbox) but share all remaining excess bandwidth between my remaining devices (so they're not limited by the bandwidth wheel). checking the box "share excess DL/UL" obviously negates the choke I have to the XB. Is there any way to do this? Thank you in advance, kjm
