video didnt work Recording 2025-07-04 161952.mp4

These tests are done doing a speed test on another devce which only reaches 250Mbps Tests are fine when streaming on another device its just downloads.

I use a site called pingcanbeusefull.com i have tested the ping at on 100% 80% 60% 40% and 20% of download speed. I have to take it down to 20% before i get the desired results, see below:

Got it working but same as with plusnet router attached, have to slow speed right down to stop lag spikes

you legend. now lets see if i can get ping optimizer to work, I have been having to cut my speed down fromm 1gb to 150mbps to stop lag spikes

thanks al give it a go

is that a yes or a no?

For Fibre (FTTC) connections, you'll need a router with a built-in VDSL modem or a separate modem and router. Deos the R3 have a built in VDSL modem ?? trying to set up r3 without using the plusnet router aswell. thanks

Will when I get time and he not on pc

Done all the ping plotter tests again on pc and I get lag spikes when I run a speed test on my iPhone, I need to set my download to 20% which is about 160mbps. This was with YouTube playing and a few twitch streams

I found when I first got my fibre 1gb download i could only get that speed using Ethernet cable, most wireless devices will only get around 600mbps download unless you have the latest tech.

cant find the pingplotter instructions anywehere

yes al try ping plotter again now, here are some screen shots i took but might be pointless becouse i have changed the things you said.

I play fc25 everyday, before work 11:00am ish and after work 12pm ish the difference in game play being fast and responsive at night and slow before work is massive, don’t think there is anything you can do, I end up deleting squad and making a new 1 which seems to speed the game back up for some reason. that’s pinging 13 ms to the London server. had 1 night when the game was as fast as it’s ever been, won ever game people quitting on me becouse even my ai were getting stuck in making tackles without me doing anything, next day they were pathetic, same team same everything they were just not interested. Jogging about while players ran past them.

Xbox is in dmz

Nothing else changed, av got some screenshots of bufferbloat with different % settings but am locked out for 15mins on pc wrong password lol but still logged in on phone

Nothing connected to hub just r3.

Yeah I have it in DMZ al just leave it, spend more time messing about with settings than I do playing games last week

Also reserving 20% down and up makes no difference to lag when someone watches a video

Yea, I have found auto doesn’t work so I have had to drop my speeds to 10% download and 50% upload to stop games lagging if someone watches a video or downloads anything. Even if the video is only downloading at 25mbps I have over 800 spare but still lags. Am currently using only 80mbps download with always on ticked.

Hi I am currently using my Plusnet hub 2 with wireless turned off and R3 connected via an Ethernet cable, should hub2 be in bridge mode?? I did try but couldn’t get an internet connection. Do I need Plusnet username and password to put in the R3?? thanks

I have exact same issue and people in this post, is there a way to fix lag when anybody in the house watches a video which only takes up 20% of my download speed?

OK av been messing bout and can’t get it to work proper, my son is on pc, gaming and chatting using about 3mbps up and down max. I have his pc set to priority all ports 1 to 65335 or what ever it is, also have gaming set to 1000 top priority but when start my Xbox game update he starts lagging instantly yet my download speed is only 200mbps and my download speed is over 800, should this be happening or am I doing something wrong? might have to reset and start again ??

On ping plotter av had to drop me speed from 800 down to 260 down, the upload from 110 to 56. lost a lot of download speed is this normal, back in the r1 days it was always the upload that caused lag but mine is all happening on downloads at the minute
