My experience with SmartBOOST hasn't been as effective as I had hoped. As a self-hoster running a medium-sized game server, I've configured it as the sole priority x5 device. However, whenever someone streams or uploads a video, my server still experiences significant high ping issues.
While I appreciate the flexibility of cherry-picking ports for reserve, I'm bothered that I can't select both TCP & UDP for the same range. What would be really SMART is the option to have SmartBOOST reserve bandwidth of ports that are already port forwarded.
I found the old bandwidth reservation system more straightforward and effective for my needs. The direct approach felt more reliable.
Am I missing something in my setup? Should I be adding every device to SmartBOOST to see better results?
I have been testing ping, I have played a lot of games lately with a ping of 20-35 and I get the same issues.
Now if I set my Geo filter away from my location and get a ping of 50, the games play perfect and very fair + ALL games are very close and even.
Dont know why, it just plays perfect and I will keep it like that.
