Configuring the Killer Xeno
The Killer Xeno ships with the best configuration for all online games. Unless you encounter a technical problem and are advised by a support specialist to change any of these settings, it is recommended to keep the default settings.
Note: The default settings are optimized to fight lag on your computer, resulting in smoother game play in many online games. These effects are best noticed after repeated play in intense multiplayer gaming sessions, such as big raids or combat in MMO or FPS games.

Setting the Lag and Latency Reduction (LLR) mode
Two Lag and Latency Reduction (LLR) modes are available on the Killer Xeno:
•Game Mode — optimizes the Killer Xeno for online gaming by allowing the Killer Xeno to bypass the Windows Network Stack, prioritize game data, and free up system resources.
Note: Other installed network cards may not function properly with LLR Game Mode selected. It is recommended that you disable all other network cards if you want to use LLR Game Mode.
•Application Mode — operates the Killer Xeno as an optimized, “normal” network card. Use this mode to run programs that require access to the Windows Network Stack (such as VPN clients), or for troubleshooting applications that are not functioning in LLR Game Mode.
To set the LLR mode:
1.
2.Select the LLR mode.
