Add me too please Thanks

Cheers gents, Managed to pull a log whilst I was having one of the "on/off" events, as it let me into the admin page. Only thing that seems to be happening during this time is the application of QoS, interestingly I wasn't playing any games at the time and none were loaded on my system.... Log1.txt

Ok so I've isolated the separate issue around streaming apps (on the Samsung TV - i.e My4 and ITV) not working at all. If I disable congestion control via. the '3 line' menu, they start working immediately. I tried to experiment with turning it back on and setting the TV priority in the flower to higher, and also setting up a custom traffic prioritisation rule (set as netflix). These didn't seem to make a difference. Any thoughts on these ones? Thanks for the help Liam, Fraser

Right, so just had a drop. Unfortunately on this occasion, there was no intermittent recovery - it was just gone for good. I first powered down the ONT (I'm on BT FTTP) and repowered to rule out the connection into the house, this didn't make a difference. I left the connection for 10-15 minutes and repeatedly tried to reconnect to both of those links you shared above Fraser, but couldn't gain a connection - although when trying to access the router login, it did switch from an Edge "err_connection_timed_out" message to a dumaOS spinning wheel at one point, but didn't go any further. This one was a critical one was it cut me off whilst on a work call, so eager for anything you guys can do to help. Cheers

Thanks Fraser, Just so I'm 100% aligned, you want me to take a copy of the log during one of these outages and paste it here? From my above log that I posted, it didn't look like there was a huge amount being posted to the log during the 5 minutes I captured, but will certainly try again. Thanks

Doesn't seem to help - have tried both edge and chrome.....

When I use that link, it doesn't seem to do anything? It just shows this page

Thanks Liam, The connection to the dashboard also tends to glitch out when I'm getting the drops - if I'm already connected it'll show the internet status as "connected" on the dashboard when the drops are happening, but nothing on the dashboard will update and if I try to refresh, it'll just show me the spinning "loading" icons until it reconnects. This has been the same behavior pre and post DHCP changes. Will try the above on the next drop and report back

So I've reserved IP addresses for all my devices as listed above. Still having the same issue with internet dropping. Typically happens once or twice a day, in this pattern: Websites will fail to load and anything connected via. WiFi or my ethernet wired PC will disconnect The connection will sporadically resume and drop every couple of minutes following the first drop, and this will happen continuously if left as-is This is only resolved with a hard power off/power on of the router, at which point a stable connection returns I've just had a couple of drops within the last 5 minutes.

Presume he means checking the stats in previous COD's vs. the in-game performance of some of these players. I watched back some footage - it appears on the times I do bad, to be fair, most of my shots are landing. Whilst this doesn't account for any timing/sync differences that lead to "super bullets" where I get instamelted, it does at least point to something else going on. What's happening however is the gun-kick/recoil, especially horizontally, is wild. Could recoil have been adjusted in the most recent patch? I've retuned my attachments now to focus on recoil and did notice an immediate improvement. However, this still doesn't account for how I was able to laser people with the exact same weapon for a full week prior. Unfortunately, I don't save any gameplay of my good games - only bad games, so I can't compare the two. I'll look to do this going forward.

It's like I'm playing a different game yesterday/today. Struggling to get my head around it to be fair. Like my viewpoint is a couple frames behind everyone elses. Interestingly, I seem to have amongst the lowest ping of the match. I have climbed from around 1.15 average to 1.2 KD within around 10 days, crushing every match (see my post around excellent results from the router), and now the game is just absolutely dicking on me between a combination of good players, and hitmarkers. Cod timing...

Today's patch has 100% changed something. I was running a 1.6KD average on my last 10 games for the last week, but can not win a thing today. To test whether it's skill, I ran a few aim lab tasks. Scored near my high score in all of them. So either I've been dumped into a different category of SBMM skill today, or the hit reg has tanked.

Hi all. I made a separate topic on how much fibre broadband and my XR500 have helped over the last couple of weeks. I would separately advise you to record your gameplay and watch it back, especially when you’re having a ‘bullet sponge’ game. Watched back zoomed in and frame by frame, I was surprised by how much my own aim was causing those games where my bullets felt they wouldn’t land. it’s also surprising how slow my reaction time felt on some of those occasions. You’ve got to remember that this is an activity like any other - you’ll have good days and bad days. A lack of sleep and too much caffeine (for example), and your fine motor skills are out the window and you won’t be able to aim as well as another day. A strong warm up routine has helped this a ton (using aimlab).

Thanks Fraser - will disable QoS and test tomorrow for the streaming apps. Re your first comment - are you saying that I can safely ignore the benchmark result, or I should test moving the sliders whilst setting CC to 'always'? Cheers

Thanks both for the answers. @Zippy - I'll read into IPv6 to get a better understanding of what's what, thanks for the avenue. @Netduma Liam here you go. The prioritized device with 11 on the flower is my gaming PC, same device on the traffic Prio which I've tagged as a games console. Another one - Hula and 4oD have both stopped working on the TV, but Youtube and Netflix are fine. Coincides exactly with the router installation. Any thoughts? Thanks!
