Try allowing cache/cookies because it will time out otherwise Manually pinging does work almost all of the time. I have had weird instances where it does ping the host but for now I've been using manual ping as a workaround. Cookies and cache are allowed and it's still signing me out. Device I'm testing the auto ping on is a PS4 by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the bandwidth settings i input my paid for speeds of 480d/24u. I just completed a new install of the XR1000. Out of the box, the 1000 is unusable. Please advise on the adjustments needed if you can. Downgrade your firmware to .33 one. The .50 is filled with throughput issues and packet loss. Ton of bugs in that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oroechimaru Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 is it the network cable by chance? do you have cat6 or cat7 cable to test? @fiefo complete opposite for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after speaking with some of the devs regarding Ping Heatmap that the reason it happens is because CoD servers actually block responses to ping. That means we have to do something clever, it works a lot of the time but sometimes it doesn't and we have to do updates. 13 hours ago, fiefo said: Downgrade your firmware to .33 one.

Hey Fraser, traffic prio doesn’t work properly Cause the amount of packet ratio is off. Also the game play is laggy and unplayable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRarsenxL Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Significantly more upload than download but in the.33 it’s more even and the gameplay is significantly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only tested this with cod. I have also noticed (gaming aside) that at random times during the day my wifi connection will just stop. It won't drop, everything shows that it's connected but if I'm watching a video it starts to buffer even though the router is like 4 feet away.

Could you navigate over to Settings -> Advanced settings -> Wireless setup and enable MU-MIMO and see if the WiFi issue re-occurs? Also set your Fragmentation length and CTS/RTS threshold to 2165 and 2166 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have changed the recommended settings, will keep an eye out to see if this happens again. Also going to re-enable IPv6 because I thought it could be tied to that as well. Also what is the correct way to enter a dns address in to the IPv6 section on the router? I try to use cloudflares IPv6 address and it is as follows 2600 4700 4700 1111 & 2600 4700 4700 1001 but there are spaces after on the router, do I need to fill those out with zeros? Is there also a test I can use because after I visit the page, the field is blank so I don't know if I'm using my ISP's DNS servers or cloudflares, I'll attach a screenshot. I have run a test that confirms IPv6 access just to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 For the time being, leave IPv6 disabled as its unlikely to have an affect in this scenario and it's best if we change one variable at a time to ensure we can accurately pinpoint the issue.

I'm still having the same issue after the adjustments, seems to be happening multiple times a day where the internet just doesn't load anything but the wifi and LAN stay connected. Just no internet access, then after 5 minutes or so, it comes back. And I don't see anything in the logs about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2020 Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channels in your area and change to those. Also ensure there aren't any devices within close proximity to the router especially wireless devices e.g. controller as these could interfere with the signal.

Just did this, 2.4 is set to auto so it's always switching the channel but now my smart TV can't find my 5G band. I changed it to channel 52 and I can't even search for it.

Selected a non DFS channel,but the connection still loses internet access every so often even after a factory reset. Not sure what's going on at this point.
