PharmDawgg Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The congestion control sliders are to prevent any other devices on your network from causing ping increases and thereby causing lag issues when you are gaming. And when I mean anything I mean anything. Anything connected to your network other than you gaming console or pc can cause congestion issues such as cell phones etc. So yes I would use the congestion control sliders when gaming and increase them back to 100% when not gaming. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2017 I would follow Buck's advice. Gaming doesn't require much bandwidth so you're absolutely fine to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sliders (CC) work great for people who have lower speeds and I'm not talking about your speeds I mean LOW.I have a friend who has 3 /1 and he always had issues when his wife or daughter would stream Netflix or youtube and he was gaming, we could literally watch him go from a green 4 bar to a 1 red bar and he would start skipping all over before he got the duma. But since his purchase his gaming is so much better while others are using his home network and everyone can do their own thing with out effecting the others.
