just a default modem provided by spectrum, and no wifi is available on it. I have it hardwired to the XR500 Router and the router hardwired to both PS5 and PC. Thanks for the heads up on the Spectrum technician

Its the XR500 Nighthawk Gaming Router and the modem used is Spectrum's Modem. The only things connected are my PC (Ethernet), PS5 (Ethernet, but have offline), my Moto G Stylus phone, and the Dish Network: The Hopper. Now my speeds for Download is 270MBPS and Upload is 5.4MBPS with the adjustments you've recommended. I fear that 5.4 is still not stable for the 2500 bitrate. Going to take my chances on getting the ISP Technician to check if there are any issues with the service area. Router: Nighthawk Gaming XR500 Firmware: XR500 V2.3.3.136 Internet: Spectrum (400MBPS Download & Upload 10MPBS Plan)

tried the setting as suggested, but the bitrate doesn't seem stable since OBS is recommending me to go with 1397 bitrate at Output (Scaled) Resolution of 640x360 instead of the 2500 bitrate at 1280x720. My PC and Internet last week was able to support 720 at 60FPS on the bitrate of 2500 no problem. Also, the 90% decreased my Upload to 2mbps so I might need to call my ISP to see if there are any issues.

I have the NETGEAR XR500 Gaming Router and it's been a hit or miss at times, but recently I have been noticing some issues with my upload speeds. I would stream to Twitch with a decent 10mbps upload that supported the 2500 bitrate, and I tried streaming to YouTube only to find out some issues with bandwith being inconsistent. I checked OBS and saw my bitrate started fluctuating between 2000 to 1000 and mostly to 200 or 900. I check Ookla's speed test and saw that I have a slightly slower upload, but not too bad since it was at a decent 7-9 upload speed. Downloads are still around 400 which is good since I am paying for 400mbps. However, with netduma os I saw that I am not getting the expected speeds. Tried checking for a firmware update, but there aren't any available at the moment. Not sure if the Router is starting to fail or isn't compatible with current speeds. I have the QoS completely disabled, so I can get my full speeds. However, that hasn't improved my speeds. Ookla Speed Test Downloads: 417.14mbps Uploads: 9.30mbps Netduma OS Downloads: 394mbps (sometimes 257mbps) Uploads: 3mbps
