ViciousSavag3 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 So guys I have my Xr500 and 1 device connected ONLY to it which is my Ps4. What u guys Recommend on the Setup for Qos Sliders? and where should I leave the Detection for Always, or only when high Priority is detected?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2019 Keep in mind with that setup that QoS won't be as effective as it won't be able to control the other devices on the network so really you could have any variation of settings for it as the PS4 is the only device as long as it has enough bandwidth.

ViciousSavag3 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 So the Sliders wouldn't really matter then in this situation? Because the router would detect the ps4 automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2019 No I mean in this situation the router can only control the bandwidth of the console and not the other devices in your home so as the purpose is mainly to prevent local congestion and it can't achieve that properly in this setup the % doesn't matter too much, just ensuring that you leave enough bandwidth for the console so it can play online would be fine. Ideally you want all the devices connected to the router so it prevents local congestion and have Anti-BB at 70% each way and choose to apply it depending on how much the internet is used.

ViciousSavag3 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Got it. ONE MORE THING I've notice that it's been giving me Unprioritized Packets still with One system being connected to the Router? Why is this do I have something wrong connected on my side? And I have to keep Resetting the Router everyday before I start playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Unprioritized packets could be a sign of packet loss. How many Unprioritized packets are you seeing? If it's fewer than 20 or so, this is normal and shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Ok good to know I was starting to get a little worried there I've seen about a little less than 20 your right so I shouldn't be? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 9, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 9, 2019 No don't worry about that, it's fine. Sometimes packets will get dropped if they're not needed as well so it's not always bad to have unprioritized packets but if you're getting a lot then it would likely be packet loss.

ViciousSavag3 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Okay so I've been seeing that I've had about almost 1k Unprioritized packets (But ONLY on Background Download) and when I play the game I dont seem to have Any Packet loss 0% ? Should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2019 If you're not encountering any issues then I wouldn't worry. It won't all be from the console either, it'll be from other devices just browsing the web etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Ok good to know brother thanks again for the 411 Netduma Alex and Netduma Fraser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 So I'm still continuing to have these same issues on getting these Unprioritized packets on Background coming from both sides download and upload idk what to do at this point it's getting very annoying and COD games are really horrible on my side of experience and I also see packet loss on Connection Meter in the game? What else can I do to fix this please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 If you have a slow connection, you might need to be a little more aggressive with the Anti-Bufferbloat sliders. Call of Duty doesn't use a lot of data at all so what you're really trying to do is limit other devices on your network so that your bandwidth doesn't fill up.

ViciousSavag3 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well my speeds are 125 Down and 125 Upload that should be sufficient right? But I gave my iSP a call and they might a found a problem on their side so hopefully is them.. well see 😕 but thnxs again for sticking here wit us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 14, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yes that is more than sufficient, okay thats a good sign, keep us updated! ViciousSavag3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 I wanted to know if I have Galaxy Tablet connected should I manually add this to Traffic Priority and keep the Enabled check also? It seems it comes from the tablet the most on the Unprioritized packets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Are you using your tablet for gaming? If so, you should add it to traffic prioritisation. If not, it's a bad idea to add it because the tablet will be causing a load of traffic to interrupt your gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sounds good all I needed to know.. and no I dont use it for gaming just general..Thank you💯 Netduma Fraser and Netduma Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Admin Posted May 18, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 18, 2019 You’re referring to the 1,200 unprioritized packets right? Could you do a PingPlotter test on your line. It’s possible you have an issue with it that’s causing packet loss, rather than there being anything wrong with your router. Here’s a quick guide on how to do this. Let us know your results: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousSavag3 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I dont Have a PC to PingPlot? So I wouldn't know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, there's a version of PingPlotter available in the app store. If you're on Android, you could try PortDroid Network Analysis or something similar.

ViciousSavag3 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Well I have a droid tablet and I've downloaded Ping Tools as I believe has the same features as PortDroid? If not then I'll Download portdroid but how would I know where the ping spike is coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Alex Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Well in PingPlotter you can see where along the line the delay is occurring, so you could see if it's an internal or external problem. You could also just use it to test your ping when you're doing various activities and see how it changes, maybe narrow down which activity causes lag. Regarding the idea of corrupted firmware... We have had some issues where people cannot get ping assist to work. In this situation we recommend that they downgrade to the previous firmware and then upgrade to the latest. Both links are below. The only problem with this is that it will wipe your settings, so maybe best to leave that as a last resort. DOWNGRADE to: https://kb.netgear.com/000060127/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-32 Then UPGRADE to: https://kb.netgear.com/000060464/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
