Munch.Abe Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi So my brother & I both use our consoles (ps4) simultaneously. He plays SFV and I play R6 Siege; every time we do so one of us lags and the other has decent ping (in siege I get around 20-30 ping [there are ping spikes that make it difficult to play]) I understand SFV uses P2P, but it's also noticeable when streaming video. The quality goes down briefly, but then goes back up and this happens many times. Just wondering what could I possibly do to get far more consistency with the connection. The anti-buffer is at 65/65 both our consoles are prioritized geo-filter is set to spectate for him and filter for myself UPnP is on Static ips etc... Perhaps it's something else. Anyway thanks!

Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted April 16, 2018 Netduma Staff Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi, welcome to the forum! Your settings seem great - if you've got an open NAT even better. What rang alarm bells for me is that you say you've got ping spikes - those are usually indicative of issues on your line / upstream equipment. That could be the best place to start improving your connection. I'd recommend running a Pingplotter test (with and without the XR500 connected). That'll give you a clear indication of how bad your ping spikes / jitter is, and any other problems on your line. It could lead to you getting a new modem which can often fix these issues, or new Ethernet cables etc. I'd recommend posting the results here so we can break them down and give you advice! Thanks.

Munch.Abe Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Thanks for the hasty reply! So I ran the pingplotter test with different targets, this was with the XR500 connected. Each test was about ~10 min. I did check the upstream levels for my modem just to make sure and it was at optimal levels. Not too sure what to make of it. Though I do run only 150mb DL and considering how many devices I have it could very well be that, but again not too positive on that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted April 16, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2018 Could you prioritise just one console instead of both and see if it improves. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeth4lee Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'm having a similar issue where my partner's console lags not the most tech savvy but I've checked a lot of the above mentioned things as well, I'm in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hey, welcome to the forum Lee! Could you give us a bit more information such as your bandwidth speeds, your QOS settings, whether either of the consoles are being Geo-Filtered and if they're connected via ethernet or wireless please.

Leeth4lee Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi Fraser, Bandwidth Speeds are 100dl & 40mbps ul, QOS set to 70/70 and I tried both consoles geofiltered on a wired connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted May 9, 2018 Netduma Staff Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi Fraser, Bandwidth Speeds are 100dl & 40mbps ul, QOS set to 70/70 and I tried both consoles geofiltered on a wired connection What precisely do you mean by lag in this case? Network lag in games is when you press a button and the action in-game is delayed, so the game feels sluggish. If other players are lagging you will also have bad hit-detection (on FPS games) and notice other players skipping / acting strangely. What game are you playing and what is your ping to the game?

Are you using Bandwidth Allocation and are you using Traffic Prioritization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeth4lee Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi Jack, To answer your lag question sometimes scrolling through the console menus becomes delayed and other times its when playing in game it starts skipping and you see character models moving ahead like their in fast forward. I play mostly COD WW2 and my partner plays COD BO3 and we both noticed the same thing. Hi Fraser, I've tried always for Anti-Bufferbloat and I bandwith allocate and yes I use Traffic Prioritization. I've had to revert back to my R1 setup to get our consoles working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be your line, it could be your monitor etc and it could of course be the XR500. It's just such a broad symptom that figuring out when it's fixed is a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeth4lee Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The only time I get it on the R1 is when I'm just using a general profile with generic settings so no strict mode, no real geo-filter, 100/100 UL/DL settings, but even then on the R1 it never is as bad as when I'm using the XR500.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 27, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 27, 2018 Are ALL devices connected to the XR500? If any devices are connected to the ISP hub then the QoS will not be as effective. What is the average ping to the game for the both of you when you see the issue as shown by the Geo-Filter?

Leeth4lee Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 All my wired devices the ps4's are connected to the XR500, everything else runs wifi. I'll have to reconnect it to check. I don't run anything through the ISP hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Admin Posted May 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2018 Could you try reconnecting it please and let us know the pings you are getting when playing with it. It's worth also disabling IPv6 (found in >Settings >Advanced Settings >IPv6) in case it is causing random problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
