    Extreme Router Trouble

    So you're saying I should use both routers? Put the Verizon Quantum in bridge mode to the X4s? I'm just confused sorry. Thank for the help though I still haven't solved this problem of my Verizon router outperforming the Nighthawk.

    Extreme Router Trouble

    I just need something to guarantee a consistent high download and low ping to my Ps4. The X4s had great reviews and was out performed by the Verizon Quantum which makes no sense to me. Thank you for your response much appreciated.

    Sounds good I will give that a try, but what router are you saying I should do this on? Do you recommend a specific router for my needs?

    Extreme Router Trouble

    Truthfully I am not sure what DNS servers I am using. I did try factory resetting it when I was on the phone with Netgear. I tried testing my console with Qos on and then off and either time I could not achieve a download speed higher then 200mbps. As I said in my initial post most of my...

    Extreme Router Trouble

    Hi everyone. The last time I posted it was very long so I'm going to try my best to keep this one short. I have around a 1000 square foot one story home. My ISP is Verizon Fios and I have their 1 gigabit internet plan. I recently bought the Nighthawk X4s R7800 and had this really weird problem...

    Advice for Gamer

    Yea I have the Verizon Quantum router that came with my gigabit service. I bought the Nighthawk because I read a lot that Qos was important to receive low latency on your console for FPS games. I'm confused at the fact that the Nighthawk is now pulling high 850+ download speeds on my desktop but...

    I have been testing the speed on my hardwired ps4 and comparing them between the routers. I just tuned off Qos and tried testing it again and it still will not break 300. The Qos is important for gaming correct? It would not be better to take the Nighthawk back and use the Quantum instead right?

    Advice for Gamer

    I have an ethernet cable coming out of the new Verizon box they installed in my garage. That ethernet goes straight into my Nighthawk. The Verizon Technicain said their Quantum router wasn't needed because my internet is ran through the ethernet and can be plugged right into the Nighthawk. I am...

    Advice for Gamer

    Hey man sorry for the late reply but I wanted to wait until they came out and installed everything. So Verizon came out and hooked everything up. I am not using a coax cable because I do not use their TV service. Instead they hooked up the ethernet cable right to my router. So no need to bridge...

    Really appreacite the help man much respect. Is it easy enough in the Genie app to set it up so my console has the lowest latency of all the devices in my house?

    Advice for Gamer

    Okay that's what I wasn't sure about. I know it's probably a stupid question but I wasn't sure how to set it all up with having two routers. So I just need to hook the Quantum up normally then bridge it to the X4S with what? I'm assuming all my ethernets would go into the X4s and I'd basically...

    Advice for Gamer

    I pay for 80Mbps both up and down now. For me to upgrade to 1000Mbps up and down it's around $30 more a month if I remember correctly. When I spoke with Fios they told me they would send out their Quantum router because the Fios router I have now cannot support that speed. So I still would need...

    & @sm00thpapa Thank you. I appreacite the responses I just wasn't sure because I read a couple different forums on here where some people swore by the Asus. This may be an extremely dumb question so I apologize but I'm not sure how to do it. Verizon said for me to upgrade to gigabit internet I...

    You prefer the X4S over the Asus 3100?

    Advice for Gamer

    Thank you both for your response I appreacite it. I guess as a whole it's a bit confusing to the average person like me. If I purchase the gigabit internet is there enough bandwidth for me to still have the advantage and ping response playing FPS tournaments. While everyone else is streaming...

    Hi everyone. For the past few days I've been reading many different articles about routers and the way internet speed works. Ill try to keep it short. I'm a very heavy first person shooter console (Ps4) gamer. From what I've read it all comes down to internet speed and ping for the slight...
