slingblade5 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The 6190 has an issue with high ping spikes that Arris is aware of. I was not aware of this. I've never noticed this either, maybe I should start monitoring this real close. Thanks for the heads up.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r30514011-Ping-spikes-DG2470-SB6190-Requesting-metrics-for-troubleshooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEH BUTCHER Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't forget to use profiles to save your settings. Right now I have a profile I load for when I game (latency, quality top priority) on xbox and then another profile for non-gaming that focuses on maximum UP/DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be 5 to 6 months before a fix comes out for the 6190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingblade5 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok, so tonight I dug out my old SB6141 and hooked it up, got it working with comcast/xfinity throught the walled garden... In the R1 I kept the "set input" of 180/24 for both test and didn't change anything. Didn't factory reset or anything either, just rebooted a couple times after getting old modem working again. I don't use ipv6 either as recommended, this is all ip4.. The only way I can get an A+ on buffer-bloat is by now setting my sliders to 65% / 97% and this of course drops my bandwidth down quite a bit. My 6190 does amazing compared to the 6141 as far as dslreport testing and working on the A+. So both modems can handle my normal speeds of 180/24 just fine, but the 6190 seems to do a much better job on the tests as I stated up above at only having to do the 99/100 on CC with the 6190. I'm gonna run this 6141 for a while, play some black-ops 3 and tinker around, see if it helps or makes matters worse. Just some food for thought.
