At this point I know the winning combination to show if people question my connection but I don't think it will come up unless they have a bad connection and I have to call them out. Appreciate all the help, at this point I'm not really worried about it anymore but I appreciate all the information and I understand this a little more than I did before.

I did both at the same time and sure enough it's showing up again, not sure why I didn't try that in the first place lol. Thanks!!

Ah, I found my computer but it is on an "Offline" arm. It doesn't have an IP address but the mac address matches.

Haha, yellow to Modem, port 1 to PC

All devices accounted for and there isn't even a LAN line coming off the router 😞 (to be clear I checked all the wireless devices too even though that's impossible for this PC)

Tournament organizers for Super Smash Bros Melee will generally side with the person who has the higher waveform score if any ping or connection issues arise. 🙂

Sweet okay thanks!....... Oh..... my PC isn't showing on the device manager..... What the heck. I'm doing all this tuning ON the PC which is connected directly to the router.... Did I accidentally hide it or something? How might I bring it back?

It's still on PC but has netplay. What information do I need to set up a rule? Would I be setting it up as a Traffic Prio "Device"? Add Device -> PC -> Games Console? Presumably that would just prioritize all traffic on my PC (which is fine)

One more question I guess and I'm okay to make a new thread if that's better. I mostly play a game that isn't on the list and never will be (Super Smash Bros Melee). Is there anything I need to do to make sure Auto-Enable kicks in when I'm playing that?

Okay!!! Well this has been very exciting. I had to get the download slider all way down to between 15-20 but my results are great now. Upload slider doesn't seem to make any difference it's always 0-10ms My problem is solved but if someone wouldn't mind explaining why in the world the Download slider has to be so low for the results to be good, I would appreciate it to help my own understanding.

Okay I'll give that a shot, and should I be testing with Traffic Prio on or off, I feel like it's supposed to be off from other posts but maybe I am not understanding

Pingplotter looks similar between Always and Auto-Enable. Always: Auto:

I only have one modem and router, so does that mean I have a problem with my ISP? I have also run tests with wifi completely off and just this computer connected via LAN (which is how I do all these tests) With Congestion Control on Always the connection benchmark seems to have gotten better: Waveform has of course gotten even worse than before: Unfortunately I have to use the waveform results when asked about any connection issues. Is there something I can do to make those specifically better? I know that's silly but it's just how it is unfortunately.

XR1000 1.0.0.64_1.0.49 I have been messing with settings and pulling my hair out trying to figure out this QoS stuff. Maybe I'm missing a silly setting somewhere. I get significantly worse scores on waveform with QoS ON compared to QoS OFF I have tried turning on and off traffic prioritization, I have moved the sliders around, I have moved the allocation around, no matter what I do, the score on waveform is WAY worse with QoS enabled than with it disabled. These are my current QoS settings that I got from Auto-Setup but I have tried every combination of the sliders / traffic prio on/off, allocation moved around, nothing makes it better: This is my score with QoS DISABLED (this score is basically identical to if I run it directly from the modem): This is my score with QoS ENABLED: My DumaOS benchmarks are basically identical with it on and off: I wouldn't care quite so much but the game I play the tournaments use waveform to determine connection issues in favor of one person or another so I have to get that waveform score as good as I can. Any ideas?
