Setting up XR100 w/ Edge Router?

[Ivanbad]

Hi. Am looking to setup up my XBS console to use the Edge Router QOS and DumaOs geofilter.

My ISP modem can either be bridged or i can put a port in passthrough(not sure which is better)

Any suggestions?

Either or should be fine really, it shouldn't make much difference in terms of performance

Tx Fraser.  So it will go

Isp >Edge>Netduma

Do i need to forward ports or dmz anything?

My console plugs into the Duma after?

[Netduma Fraser]

You'll probably want to put the XR WAN IP found on the System Information page into the Edge DMZ to avoid a double NAT scenario but other than that you should be good!

Hi. Might be a dumb question.

Lets say a connection is 1000/1000.

Whats the difference between setting those values on QOS and using the sliders to say 50% to acheive 500/500, or leaving the sliders at 100% and inputing 500/500 as the connection?

Reason i ask is I'm finding if i use the sliders on Always, when i do a buffertest the speeds always seem to go slightly higher than the slider limit.

Setting your bandwidth is the limiter on what your router thinks the max speed you can achieve is so if you set that to 500 and left the sliders at 100% then you connection can still be saturated and you could experience lag. The other way prevents that happening. If you have Traffic Prioritization it is possible that could be prioritized and supersede the limit.
