mitja1980 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have a fiber optic connection 100/100. With the Netgear XR500 im getting very bad bufferbloat results on DSLreports. The best i get is a A and even that is very bad with huge spikes. On my R1 with sliders 70/70 i always get all A+ with no spikes and values between idle, download, upload ping are identical. I have tried settings on bufferbloat with always on, when high priority traffic is detected and nothing changes. My bad bufferbloat is very noticable in game performance (COD WWII). Any suggescions??

mitja1980 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Fraser its not just dslreport results for bufferbloat. Like all the people in link that you provided say, the gameplay is much better on R1. Im getting destroyed with the XR500. With R1 im a 2.0 K/D ratio player. I will try more tweaking but for now im very frustrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Lucky you, I can't even get a B, let alone an A! But I don't trust that site and I believe my results are fake. PingPlotter doesn't show the huge spikes that DSLR does, nor the packet loss yet IW plays almost flawlessly. If my connection was as bad as DSLR claims, IW would be unplayable.

While we recommend 70/70 for Anti-Bufferbloat we encourage you to experiment. I would honestly saturate your network and use different percentages to find the one that gives you the most stable ping possible then leave it at that and you will definitely have a much better experience. Also shop around for different servers using the Geo-Filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had pretty much perfect settings for IW on my R1, same settings on the XR500 were pretty meh. Dying alot from BS. You'll just have to fiddle like I did and find your 'sweet spot' again.

mitja1980 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 One question why does the geofilter block UK dedicated server with this settings. And my ping in ping section is always the same 34ms regardless to which server i connect Doc1.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've pinned that specific ping panel. It won't auto update to ping a new server when on the dashboard, we're bringing that functionality in a future firmware.

Now it makes sence becouse on dashboard the id of the server is always the same and the ping too. So it makes no sence to pin the ping to dashboard. There is no legend for the geofilter so what exactly does that mean the circle around a dedi server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitja1980 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 And Fraser i still struggle with this router. Im a 2.0KD player on COD and in last 2 days that i owne the router i cant go positive. Something doesnt work like it should be at least for me. Is v2.1.0.4 the latest firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it makes no sence to pin the ping to dashboard. There is no legend for the geofilter so what exactly does that mean the circle around a dedi server? That means that its either whitelisted by us or you've added the server to the allow list. And Fraser i still struggle with this router. Im a 2.0KD player on COD and in last 2 days that i owne the router i cant go positive. Something doesnt work like it should be at least for me. Is v2.1.0.4 the latest firmware? Have you experimented with Anti-Bufferbloat %'s when saturating your network and doing PingPlotter? I can't diagnose issues based on KD only whether the router is ensuring a low ping. Theres a more recent one here: https://kb.netgear.com/000054462/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-1-0-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitja1980 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I upgraded to firmware version you provided but on the system info it still says v2.1.0.4 and not v2.1.0.6. When i game no other is using the internet. I have tried many settings with anti-bufferbloat but nothing helps. My ping on pingplotter when pinging 8.8.8.8 is stable at 19-20ms when im saturating my bandwith. But i have noticed compared to R1 that my ping to the same servers is 5-10ms more.

Hard reload the page Ctrl + F5 and that'll fix it. The router won't be causing an increase in ping from the R1, it is very likely you're connecting to different servers as there are many located in clusters.

Toxic Smoggie Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I too am getting really bad gameplay with the XR500. My original set up was BT smart hub 6 > R1 Xbox One, and had no issues, was getting a decent kd Bought the XR500 after a lot of rave reviews and my set up then changed to BT smart hub 6 > XR500 > Xbox One but then things got worse, played around with the anti bufferbloat settings and then my kd started to drop massively, it was also like I was lagging at times. Got a Draytrek Vigor 130 to see if I'd get any improvement, so my set up was Draytek > TP Link (with bandwidth control of 6 meg down, 3 meg up for other devices) > XR500 > Xbox One, but got the same issue even after playing around with the anti bufferbloat settings. So swapped out the XR500, connected the R1, so my setup now is now Draytek > TP Link (still with bandwidth control at 6 meg down, 3 meg up for other devices) > R1 > Xbox One, and my kd and connection has improved dramatically. My average ping both on the R1 and XR500 is 21ms via pingplotter, even when I do a ping test in command prompt the average is still 21ms, but with the XR500 connected I'm losing 1 on 1 gun fights 75% of the time, with the R1 connected that goes down to around 25%, even when I was having profile banding issues with BT with the R1 connected, it wasn't losing to many 1 on 1 gun fights.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 16, 2018 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2018 We can't diagnose connection issues based on in game performances. It sounds like the XR500 is giving you the exact same ping as you were getting previously with the R1 is that correct? What is the average ping to a game as shown by the Geo-Filter on the XR500?

The Geo-Filter should auto ping the server when you're in a game. If not you can click on the biggest icon or the dedicated server icon to ping it. Then scroll down to see the ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
