DARKNESS

@Reykc9510I disable it only when there’s a huge download to speed up the process and re-enable it once finished.

@Reykc9510Sometimes, a stable connection requires slower speeds. ISPs lack the motivation to implement such features autonomously, so it’s up to you. Bandwidth isn’t an issue; 100Mbps is sufficient. I keep my mines on always and disable SMART BOOST temporarily when downloading game files or other large files. This only affects VoIP communication, which you won’t notice if you’re watching a YouTube video.

@Reykc9510The purpose is to prevent network congestion caused by other devices from impacting gaming. For instance, without QoS or not properly adjusted, packet loss may occur during a game when data is overloaded during a file download or just someone in general using a heavy bandwidth service, which impacts latency.

You can do it through the congestion control option or where you change the speeds that you set to the router whichever but you definitely need to turn off speed test bypass as then your results won’t be accurate.

Yes you’ll have to cut your speeds in exchange that how it works. It just SQM (Smart Queue Management).

@Reykc9510Didn't you go through this before? You need to adjust it till you get A+ and 0ms.

@Reykc9510Turn off SpeedTest Bypass and perform a wired congestion test, preferably using https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat. Also, remove the picture with the Mac and serial number for safety.

@mrzo3 What does a server status lookup reveal? Clearly, they’re down, and most likely, someone breached their servers, as in typical DDoS attacks. Big corps too cheap to afford security as they've all been breached— that pretty much tells you they all depend on one service, and once breached, it’s easy cash for data sellers. 😂 https://jam.dev/c/e0162494-0c88-4695-bd18-cba1f34a6201

@JermszDid you also do the same for the 2.4GHz?

I believe your issue isn’t software-related but with Wi-Fi channels. You should find an uncongested channel because using a congested one can cause slow speeds and connection problems. The software won’t do anything since you’re using it as an AP. All handling is done through the R3 except for Wi-Fi options, which are separate. You need to log in to the IP address your R3 gave it. Use a Wi-Fi analyzer to find the best channel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=abdelrahman.wifianalyzerpro&hl=en_US

@Christian2112They can’t fix lag compensation as it depends on the game developer’s netcode and engine updates. Lower MS with no QoS is rare. You haven’t provided any evidence, so it’s hard to believe your claims. Now you counter your own argument by saying you get lower in others using it, so it sounds like you’re connecting to different servers and that’s screwing your results. You said yourself you disabled geofilter so your matches are going to be all over the place on different servers.

Update the video to make it easier to follow. I messed up some of the instructions, and there’s no proper guidance on the internet. If you don’t follow a step, you’ll get stuck with issues like sending files to the wrong directory or failing to access them. It took me almost a full week to figure out what was wrong, and it was a painful ride with looking up information that I guess no one wants to specify or have videos for, thank me later. Plug the Ethernet adapter in to avoid the error “pcap: no such device exists”. This procedure can be done in most Netgear products as TFTP for some reason fails most of the time, and this resolves this issue into just doing it once, and it works.

You can stop there. I’m not redoing it, but here’s a demo of an R7000 going from OEM to OpenWRT and back. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ghc7mu04mbhupuge4bm60/1228.mp4?rlkey=qee5qf5q5bext6jbvhfz79eb2&st=0b2qj84q&dl=0

@ForeignA straightforward Google search can elucidate the process of port forwarding, rendering it a relatively straightforward task. All that is required is to add the ports for the game you wish to play. However, this process can be tedious, and the time required may vary depending on the game. For reference, here is a link where you can check the ports for your platform and forward them: https://portforward.com/

@ADhillonNo, it just cannot be anywhere around 192.168.100.1. It can be any IP address such as 5.5.5.5 or 1.1.1.1, etc.

@ADhillonIf my memory serves me correctly, under the Settings >Internet Setup or WAN Setup. From there, you can modify the IP address to your desired value, ensuring it is not similar to the IP address of the Linksys MX4200. You'll be using that to login to the web portal going forward.

@ADhillonWhile I am not very experienced with ONTs, have you considered setting a static IP address on the XR1000? It is possible that when the Linksys MX4200 renews the DHCP, it may confuse the XR1000, resulting in internet connectivity issues or access problems to the web portal due to changing IP addresses.

@ADhillonThis is not a modem; it is a router. Is this the correct device you have? You require an internet connection, so the device that provides internet would be either a cable modem or an ONT box. https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Tri-Band-Wireless-coverage-MX4200/dp/B08NC66R2G

You can verify the modem’s model by inspecting its label or accessing it through the router. However, checking the label is generally a quicker method.

@ADhillonCould you please provide me with the model of your modem? I can check if there are any conflicting features as that weird.

@ADhillonSo the modem does not have Wi-Fi capabilities, correct? So it the following Modem>XR1000?

Could you please provide more details? Are you referring to a modem-router combo unit or a standalone modem followed by a router then XR1000.

@ADhillonI am quite certain that this would not occur unless you are using another router that is conflicting. Could you please provide me with more details about your setup?

This issue is not related to the router’s firmware. However, after researching it, it appears to be a server-side problem. While using a VPN may mitigate this issue, there is no guarantee that Marvel will address it quickly or be aware of and working on a solution. You should have tested other games before even doing a downgrade, as that would have been quite obvious.

@BAGGY67In bridge mode, did you add your PPPoE details on the R3? You can check this out as it seems to be a setup process that correlates to your issue https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Hub-One-or-new-Hub-Two-in-bridge-mode/td-p/1937055 http://192.168.1.254 Advanced Setting > Broadband > Internet > Bridging > Enabled. Save settings.

@DJAYYI rarely use HVPN since it’s unnecessary for my games. Other VPNs are essentially the same, with varying experiences due to marketing, so it’s clear it’s a scam. I am a top ranker in Fortnite in most games, so I can't play with casuals or be on casual lobbies, so I don't waste my time researching VPNs to kill bot players, but everyone has their opinion. Cod has already been proven to have systems in place where it’s rigged, so most top esports are all cheaters, in humble opinion. You might see some lag if you buffer your whole connection as that'll bottleneck your router, and you don't get QoS for that device when using HVPN. My advice is to use HVPN if you are able to get lower ping and/ or need to manipulate the location to get lower ping for a server because sometimes the game is based on your location and will lock you or try to force you to play in a specific area. Yes, you can use HVPN with Geofilter, which I do when I do use it.
