Zane Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hello, Im a competitive call of duty player and connection is key for me, I usually get 3000KBPS bandwidth with my standard virgin media router, however with the netduma router im getting 2900KBPS, i know this isnt a huge difference but it's still weird. My connection speeds are 54 download and 3 upload. Also I cant tell weather the netduma even helps me in game, any response is appreciated, thanks.

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Zane, How are you performing the test? Specifically: Is it wired or wifi? What website do you use? To see the host quality use the host-filtering page and the ping feature. Do you know how to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I did the test via speedtest.net using my PC which has wired connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2015 Have you followed the steps to increase speed? Including disabling IPv6? If not then follow the instructions here: http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=why_is_my_speed_lower Furthermore 100 Kbps is so small its far more likely its just variance. If you tried your modem 100 times it would fluctuate around 3000kbits. But either way make sure you follow that guide to make sure you have top speeds. I assume you have because you're getting 50mbits in the other direction which shows it can easily handle above 2.9mbits. Once you get it all sorted let us know if you need any help fine tuning for CoD esports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have one more question, how does moving the congestion slider so it is on 70% reduce lag? Because on call of duty it makes my bandwidth worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Iain Posted June 24, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 24, 2015 Bandwidth has nothing to do with gaming its all about ping. Reducing the bars means that devices can't download/upload too much causing a queue, that queue is what makes your game lag. As the game packets have to wait in the queue to be delivered. Does that make sense? If not let me know and I'll explain further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 So bandwidth is irrelevant to me when im playing advanced warfare in a private lobby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted June 24, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted June 24, 2015 So bandwidth is irrelevant to me when im playing advanced warfare in a private lobby? Yes, thats correct Ping is what matters and capping the speeds to 70% means that there will be no queuing (caused by local congestion) which would increase ping.
