I've got a mate coming over to try re flash the firmware on it again, he's a bit more computer savvy than me, and knows about the TFTP you mentioned further up this thread @Netduma Alex 

Unless the router is crippled why not just reinstall the current firmware over itself and factory reset using the pin hole, the way you are mentioning to re flash is generally to get a bricked router back from the dead really..

seems many folk on here are getting random internet disconnections.

I rebooted the XR500 here about an hour ago after making some very minor changes....

....after almost just one hour later, the internet disconnected yet again!! , a daily occurrence now.

quite odd the time on this disconnection.... exactly 15:00:00 .... ?

think everyone should just ditch this router and get a real one....

I've tried that a couple of times now, and no difference, nothing to lose trying it the way @Netduma Alex said further up this thread.

The way its acting it may as well be bricked!!

Thats the way I feel at the moment too, bloody annoying, especially at the premium price, R1 was brilliant too.

just a thought on the drop outs, Have you tried different cables? how old are the ones you are using? you probably have but just trying to throw in a few ideas. 

Hey @bagsta69 yeah, changed them out. I'm beginning to think the drop outs are defo the modems, vigor 130 which mate gave me is more stable but still the odd dropout. Going to order the modem recommended further up the thread, but away early next week so will leave it until home again.

@GuildersYou can try a new modem and see if that does anything for you. But something tells me the only hope for this to get corrected wont be until a new firmware comes out. If the new modem works and fixes your issue then great! If not one will have to wait and hope the next new firmware corrects these odd issues or at least addresses these issues.. Good luck!

Zippy.

Early hours this morning, go into game, shoot at an individual, no hitmakers register even though weapon on point and he turns round and does me like a kipper with barely a bullet, going by killcam!!

So deny the connection and mark it Fucking Shit.....leave game....wait a few mins, toilet break....look for next game

and hey presto I end up in lobby I denied a toilet break ago.... see pics

One pic shows the connection, and the other shows the filter was on, third was an after thought but thought I'd add anyway to show denied.

This all after my mate re-done the firmware!!!

IMHO its got downhill since the R1.....and I put the blame 80/20 netgear

@Netduma Fraser how do I turn of ping assist?

Open the option menu on the Geo-Filter Map panel and then just drag the Ping Assist slider to 0. Also make sure fast search is unticked. Do this while the console is completely off, wait two minutes and then boot up the console/game.

No probs finding of games now, though before my mate refreshed firmware via tftp it did nothing, as could still get in games...so at least I know that's fixed.

Now to put PS4 into rest mode, put settings back to what it was, leave a couple of mins and reboot console, and see what happens....will update if I end up in denied servers again!

Regarding your modems, do you know what street cab you have ,I use the Dratek Vigor 130 as my cab is ECI also ensure it’s firmware is latest 3.8.4 BT, use this link

Well after a couple of hours of gameplay I get the dreaded denied server which I get connected too, and the resultant game is horrendous.

I have found since the R1 days that the c72 cluster of servers just do not allow me decent gameplay, not even a shoot first die first....more a look at the enemy with finger in arse and then die...or that's what the kill cam would show anyway lol

But seriously this is getting tedious, I have plenty of servers on allow, including dedicated servers but I can only think of one time when that has happened. What can I do to sort this??

Bad enough that Modern warfare kicks everyone out of lobby to start hunt for new match, just for me to end up in a denied server, which I promptly leave as don't want grief, only reason went into tonights was because it took long enough to find game,

So for you info

Loc - middle of Atlantic, Ping - 40ms (base ping is 29), strict mode on, auto ping on, fast search unticked. PS4 and this computer connected via LAN. QoS set to 70% on both

Silence is defening 'sigh'

Away for work again on Thursday so doubt anything will get sorted now!

 

On another note a mate was able to join my lobby, which in previous versions couldn't happen without me first expanding the geo circle and adding him to the allow list. Has this also changed

Honestly I don't think i'll have a good answer for this one until we have pushed the Modern Warfare cloud update.

I've been away just over 5 weeks for work and before I even think about playing modern warfare I have a question for @Netduma Alex

Has the modern warfare cloud update been pushed out yet?

I don't expect much will have changed since I've been away.

 

I'm happy that yours is working as expected @PurpleHaze

No it hasn't. For the time being we suggest using Ping Assist so that even mislocated servers are included.

Even once the update it pushed, it won't fix all of the problems with Modern Warfare. The game's lag compensation is quite unpredictable in how it interacts with the features in DumaOS. Lots of user experimentation is happening across the forum to try and get the ideal traffic prioritization setup.
