Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 20, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2020 Under what circumstances were these tests done? Was the setup exactly the same for both e.g. modem > R1 & modem > XR500 or did they differ? Are you using QoS? Was the connection just being used by this device or were other devices active on the network? purpleandgold33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Fraser setup is modem to Xr500 then console and Pc and then swapped the XR500 for R1. i was streaming for both tests to twitch at 6Mbps up my speeds are 80down and 20 up on the R1 i can use 90% QoS on both and now on the XR500 ive gone down to 43% down to get my connection stable. only me using the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2020 I also just noticed these tests were done about 2 hours apart so the target - twitter could have been more unstable at that time, would be best to keep the tests as close as possible to each other to rule that out. I can't see a significant difference in the hops either which makes it harder to diagnose. Was the R1 using DumaOS or the original firmware?

FlexJ Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 R1 is using the DumaOS, i just feel like the R1 is better at at handling the QoS which is strange as its not as powerful as the XR500 N3CR0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'd suggest repeating the tests closer together, were the same QoS settings used for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 yes they was the same setting but i can't for the life of me get the XR500 to do the same stable line as the R1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 this is the XR500 streaming to Twitch just cant get a stable con at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Not that I really trust the site but I've always got A+ on DSLReports with my R1, old firmware and DumaOS whereas I never got close when using my XR500. FlexJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2020 Is Twitch going through Traffic Prioritization and therefore updating rapidly? Even if it isn't and it is prioritizing the console disable that and see if it is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hi fraser played an hour and still the same. think its time to use it as a wifi access point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2020 Is there any differences on settings between the routers? Perhaps doing a factory reset on the XR and then just changing QoS may yield better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 there is absolutely nothing different just different routers i'm confused as hell tbh Fraser. and yes ive done multiple resets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2020 The ping is only rising by about 10ms which shouldn't affect you too much. What happens if you disable QoS completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 this is now on the R1 just swapped out the Xr500 and streaming to twitch and con is perfect. and if i disable the QoS in the Xr500 the ping plotter graph is all over the place.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2020 To connect the routers to the modem are you using the same ethernet cable each time? Doesn't really make sense, there must be a small difference between the two either the way it's connected e.g. different cables or settings.

FlexJ Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 exactly the same only variable the routers itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2020 Could you do another new set of tests for both to a differnet website please so I have something to compare to? I assume both tests were done wired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlexJ Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 yes i will do and yes wired. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
