Mach3r

I recently reinstalled windows, so I lost my password to the router. Any idea how I can access or reset?

just the waveform test

This is what i have been doing since i got the router. I started at 100% and went all the way down to 50%. The best I have ever seen is like 20ms on download and it fluctuates back up.

I called Arris. They said there is not a DMZ setting that I can change on a cable modem. They said that is a router setting.

I am not having any luck getting to an Arris interface that allows you to change settings

Thanks for the explanation. I will try that and report back.

Say thanks for the response. I know you get a lot of questions, it’s actually really impressive how responsive you are. The modem is an Arris surfboard SB8200. I have to be honest I am ignorant with DMZ, bridge mode. But I did set my devices up in priorities.

Hey thanks the tip @iOrcus Sorry for the ignorance but how do I cap the bandwidth in the R3 other than the congestion controls?

I can’t get this bufferbloat under control for the life of me with this router. I keep tweaking the congestion and it doesn’t seem to get any better. Is there a setting that might help?

Ok I’ll just get rid of activities and prioritize the desktop. I am also having issues with geo filter not working. It doesn’t do anything. I can set my location but I get offshore servers all the time

I am on 4.0.236 and playing on my PC

I have Halo Infinite set as my top priority but when I am in a game it doesn’t show it or gaming being online.

I just purchased a new modem Arris Surfboard SB8200. I set up in smartboost gaming as my top priority and then video/streaming, social media. All my devices are connected to the R3. I plead ignorance with the mode/bridge mode. I don’t know what that is

I bought this router about 2 months ago to fix buffer bloat and it has seemingly little to no affect on it. I tweak the congestion everyday to try and find the sweet spot and still end up with atrocious scores while games feel awful. Am I just not aware of some router settings or something? I thought this thing would at least put a dent in it.

Ok thanks, I’ll try doing some more in depth testing and see if I can get it to be consistent. I just bought a new modem and have Cat 8 Ethernet so that shouldn’t be the issue

Smart boost i prioritize gaming desktop and for congestion control i tweak it but try to stay around 70-75% on download and it still goes over 50ms bufferbloat. Like I said I can get tests to suppress it to 10ms but it always shoots back up. It’s hella frustrating

This router I thought was helping my bufferbloat but it only suppresses it and then it jumps back up again regardless of the settings I tweak it to. SQM would likely fix this issue.

Just got my R3 today and it has worked a miracle with my latency. My bufferbloat was over 100 ms in both download AND upload. Not anymore!

It looks like the XR1000 comes with SQM built in and thats what gets the bufferbloat under control. Unless I am mistaken I dont see SQM on the R3. Does it use another method?

Ah yeah, thats a good selling point lol. Thanks for the response on the parent controls too. Just need something to cut off my kids. I will definitely keep the R3 assuming it can reduce this crazy ass bufferbloat. Thanks.

My R3 arrives tomorrow but so does my Nighthawk pro WiFi 6. I am trying to decide which to keep and which to return. My upload bufferbloat is over 100 ms so I need some serious help. Will the R3 mostly eliminate it? From what I read the Nighthawk will. Thanks.

Hey there, I am wanting to be able to disable devices, set them on timers, be able to see how much they are being used and what they are viewing. Basically the eye in the sky parent view.

I have the R3 currently being shipped, however I have since realized there are no parental controls that I need with 2 kids. I don’t see information on how to return it.
