I purchased the XR500 Gaming Router specifically for the Quality of Service features, and it did not disappoint. The Anti-Bufferbloat throttles total bandwidth to keep my household under the 1TB data cap imposed by my ISP. Traffic Prioritization ensures my ITTT gadgets (there are many) do not interfere with streaming and browsing. The router has Bandwidth Allocation to hard limit the bandwidth consumed per device (at the device level). My prior router, Archer C9 V1, used this approach (called Bandwidth Control). With the new QoS technology, though, I found limiting bandwidth per device no longer necessary. DumaOS has an excellent user level controls and interface. The parental controls are insufficient. This is a gaming focused router, so parenting tools were not a priority.

Great router for gaming, but I don't recommend this router for novices to networking. While it makes things easy, it does have many features you will only understand if you are tech savvy. The wireless range for 5GHZ band isn't as good as my previous AC2400 Nighthawk, but still good. This router shines for gaming, where you can use DumaOS and use the geofilter feature which controls which players / servers can connect to you and play with you. There is even a beta DumaOS program that while awesome, does void your warranty on a brand-new/refurbished unit of the XR500.

expensive is only draw back. works very well. easy to use OS. just be careful if you set the geo filter too small it may not find servers for some games depending on your location. but no lag on my FPS so thats all that really matters

I was skeptical as to how well this router would actually work with lowering my ping with its geo-filtering, but after owning this product for about a month or so, I would highly recommend this router as it lowers your ping and does not allow you to connect to a server outside of your radius. I only play Call of Duty so not sure how it would be for other games, but for COD, this router has improved my ping and overall game-play.
