I have a UR5e connected to a Beckhoff Controller through Ethernet/IP, both are working but I find that when either in Remote or Local mode, the Pendant starts to lag and sometimes freezes which is a real pain when debugging.
It is better when in local mode but still lags a lot but when in Remote mode, it locks up and I end up having to kill the system.
Its like Ethernet/IP is taking priority on processing power within the robot controller.
Hope someone can help me with this issues.

Not sure if thats your problem but worth worth a shot.
I do not have these set, I have the following network settings in place:-
IP Address: 192.168.1.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Preferred DNS Server: 0.0.0.0
Alternative DNS Server: 0.0.0.0
Sorry that didn't work for you. This was difficult for me to debug. UR Support duplicated my bug and sent the info to Denmark.
While it will obviously break your application, disable the ethernet network, reboot, then try using other features of the robot. If the robot works normally again, it will help to pinpoint the issue to the network stack.
You may want to change the robot IP address, just to make sure there is not a duplicate on your local network. Then for test purposes, put the robot on the internet. I suspect there is an issue with the network stack somewhere that doesn't handle timeouts well.
