Honestly if this feature gets added back in Ill be over the MOON about it too because I miss this about the R1/XR1K which is why I didn't mind my devices being setup into it but with it gone I got a setup where like all extra devices are linked into my other routers while I have only like my cell & Xbox Series S into my R3 with whatever bandwidth I have it set on in the meantime EVEN DOE im aware the R3 is updated & etc to I guess better handle things even w/o that feature available.

I've honestly nvr done it via speedtest I've just done it on the R3 only & after that I switched Ping optimizer to expert & did the test & it legit said the best ping was 100/100 for me which I already suspected as such because back then b4 I even had the netduma I think I used to play with a party & I had the most bandwidth than the rest so by that standard I figured it was good for me to host of course but I always complained about like lag & etc while they typically did better than me because lag compensation/ping is kind to those who doesn't have a CRAZY amount of bandwidth to work with compared to the ones that have ALOT of it.

I mean YEAH you could do that but the issue in the end would still be the bufferbloat so you'd have to use ping optimizer with whatever bandwidth you have set either way along with device reservation then I guess you'd be good on that front. BUT in my case I hae multiple routers so I can afford to just lower my bandwidth when I'm gaming because I can just hook onto the other routers if I need bandwidth because I have 2 routers linked into my ISP router. Naturally doe as many ppl say over/over you don't need alot of bandwidth for gaming so if you have a setup like mine where you can afford to lower your bandwidth (Not thru your internet service provider of course because that would just be CRAZY) in the CC settings then do so & gaming will be alot better for you compared to just running some big #s overall when it comes to gaming... Only time I honestly turn up my bandwidth is when my Xbox is downloading or if I just wanna use my R3 when my xbox is off with my laptop/other devices really.

O sorry I 4got to mention since I put it so low I don't really throttle so naturally it'll be 70/70 but if I remember to switch it Ill just have it at 100/100

20 down 2 up as mentioned b4 but I have better gaming in my opinion doing between 5-20 down/1-2 up compared to just using all my bandwidth which is 800 down 20 up

Wouldn't the ez way to go about buffer bloat would be to adjust your bandwidth speed to a bit above the bare minimum like 20 down 2 up for example or something along those lines & get the bufferbloat thats perfect for your connection?

So even with Geo-Filtering it doesn't like make the lag that comes with vpn better?

O ok... So not much to do about it entirely then since its thru a browser?

So I have to do this in the browser im using?

So if I switch to something thats further off 4rm where Im at I'll get the lag for switching/in game lag distance between me & that specific area I connected to as well on top of it? It doesn't bridge the game & like try to give like 0 lag like I initially thought b4?

Ok so im still SOMEWHAT lost about how VPN works entirely even though I've looked it up awhile back. So Im aware it can hide your IP address/your able to use the internet I guess w/o your IP provider I guess knowing what you do but is that all? Like apart of me is curious about the gaming aspect of it like if I hid my IP (Or whatever idk the correct terms here since I've nvr had the service b4) in Texas & I connected to a Texas server in a game would I have like 0 lag doing that or would I have the same lag from where I live at to Texas on the matter?

Fmovies domain names but I BELIEVE the downloads are "ok" if I don't do so much but when I try to do multiple at a time & its like... I guess 1080p that im trying to download it'll go for a min then like shutdown entirely besides either 1 it'll continue going till its finished OR just cancel em all & say an error basically.

Looked it up all I found was something about UTP ethernet cables.

Upnp? Not familiar with what uTP is.

O I forgot to mention I had my bandwidth set to 200 down/2 up when this was happening btw
