Setup

[Vito-956]

Hello,

I have been using my XR500 for a while now and all I play is COD & MW on PS4.  My PS4 slim is corrected LAB cable into the router.

And for some reason I don't think I have the correct settings on it.

Here are all my setting and have several questions to ask.

On the GEO Filter I already have my PS4 (console) added to devices. I always try to play on Filtering mode.  Is this ok?

On the QOS I have the Anti-Bufferblot at 95% download and upload and always have it at When High Priority Traffic Detected. Is this ok??

On the Setting menu under setup. Do I have to change anything?? 

I have also been think of getting a static IP address from my internet provider.. If I do will I get better internet connection and experience less lag during any of my online ?

I have also looking into DNS server.. is this some I need to change of leave at automatic?

Sorry for all the questions..  Hope you all came help me

To answer your questions:

1. Yes filtering mode is recommended to get the best servers.
2. It's unlikely that will be eliminating local congestion effectively.
3. No you don't need to change anything in Settings > Internet Setup.
4. Getting a static IP will do nothing for lag or connection - it simply means your IP address won't change which can actually be a bad thing if you were to be DDoSed (unlikely).
5. Leave DNS as automatic, this will not make a difference either.

I would recommend you go through our optimal settings guides here: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646 that will help you setup optimally and also give you an idea of how the router works so you can experiment with different settings in the future.
