Kmak_Mak Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hello, I just bought the XR1000 primarily to stabilize the connection with my Xbox Series X. After installing it today, I realize that the benchmark speed test on the router came up as: Download 800 Mbps and Upload 850 Mbps (approx.). However, when I ran the same test on the console, I cant get more than 300Mbps in either direction and it fluctuates a bit as well (drops to 165 etc.). One of the deciding factors to go with this router was the Geo-filtering; however now that I have it and I am reading about it online, apparently the Geo-filtering doesn't work properly or work all the time. Lastly, in the drop down list of games, I realize there isn't much to choose from, I specifically have a ping issue with NBA 2K22, but its not in the list. Is there a way to achieve best results for this game even though its not in the list? Message 1 of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 9, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! I just responded to you on the Netgear forum but let's continue here: Console speed tests are not always accurate, if you're getting your speeds through a PC speedtest that's the most important. If the console needs all your speeds it will be able to take it. What do you mean the Geo-Filter isn't working properly? When you add the console to the Geo-Filter you don't need to do anything specifically for the game - ignore the profiles completely, setup the radius etc as usually recommended and it should work.

Kmak_Mak Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I understand that console speed tests are not necessarily accurate, but when I was using the ISP provided router (Verizon), the console download test is always above 850 Mbps. Now that I am using the Nighthawk I didn't expect it to be hovering at 300 Mbps. Ping of course is the main reason for changing to a gaming router. I like your preset games in the list and the ability to ping test the servers, is there any way for this list to be expanded? Fifa 22, 2k22, and MK11 gives me the most ping problems. Ultimately, my goal is to achieve the lowest possible pings and all the games I play, thats really it. Is there anyway to get the ip addresses for games you don't have in the preset list?

What speeds are you getting through a PC speedtest that's connected directly to the XR1000? We can look into why the console is reporting lower speeds then. We do have an internal list of games that people have requested to have added and NBA is on there, it's just a case of us being able to capture the server information for it. In the mean time, I'd suggest selecting the 'Choose manually' option when you're adding your device to Geo-filter, instead of selecting a specific game. You may find you're able to filter even though the game isn't technically supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinruiz Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I bought this router last night, fair enough I haven't had the proper time to go through all the settings, but in my initial speed tests with my Playstation 5 I had the exact same problem that OP had. When I connected to the spectrum router I always get 800x plus but now with this router I get 150 tops, which is so strange. I would love to know what's the fix for this.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 10, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 10, 2021 It's probably due to the way the QoS works, if you disable it fully from the Congestion Control menu do you get higher then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give this a try tonight when I get home and will report back, thank you! Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinruiz Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 So, I got home, disabled Qos and ran some speed test, I'm still having the same issue. In the DumaOS it marks that I can reach 871 Mbps but I get a D grade in internet. In the speedtest website my internet is way less than what I had with the Spectrum router.

Netduma Liam Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 That's interesting, could you please go to Device Manager and switch to table view from the three-line menu. Then, grab a screenshot of the top table and send that over to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 OK, whichever device is connected to the XR on port one is limited to 100Mbps. Which device is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinruiz Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Did a factory reset and did the set up again through my computer instead of my phone (That was how I did it the first time) Now everything seems to be working properly. Now it's time to make Fifa work with no LAG lol Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
