any1 know how to get decent bufferbloat on the 500

[DaTz]

cant get an A+ for the life of me.. bad ping spikes

[Netduma Fraser]

Follow the guide at the bottom of this stage to find your optimum settings for bufferbloat http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000075774-can-t-get-an-a-on-dslreports-here-s-why-

[plb]

I have followed the guide you provided. All seems good on ping plotter but in a game if my girlfriend is streaming anything or if i'm downloading something it's completely a mess in game.

 

I have a slow connection 9 Mb / 0.9Mb. I have set my buffer bloat to 70% even 35% sometimes but nothing is working as expected

I don't know why but these settings works for me. I used to have a lot of issues with mine, lately this is what's finally work for me.

-Put Console on DMZ, turn off upnp.

-unchecked DumaOS classified games, prioritize ports 1-65535 UDP, and Ports 3000-40000 TCP for my PS4

- I keep my sliders at %20, but you could play with yours a little to find what % works for you. ( for the speed I put the number I'm supposed to get, not what the test gives me).

[plb]

Thanks. I was under the impression that something is not prioritized as expected too. 20% is very low for me in that case there is not enough bandwidth for anything else on the network

[Netduma Fraser]

Did you properly follow the guide by saturating your line and working out from there the best Anti-Bufferbloat settings?

i tried my xbox one x in the DMZ for a couple of days and noticed my logs start to flood with remote connections (while xbox is was turned off ??)

 

xbox one x is set to Energy Saving Mode, not Always On mode.

 

My logs show a continuous long list of remote connections, sample as below

when i disabled DMZ , it all stopped instantly.....?

[Netduma Fraser]

By putting a device in the DMZ you are essentially saying any traffic that comes through on any port go to this device so I am not surprised but its very unlikely to be anything harmful.

[plb]

Yes Fraser I have saturated my download then my upload. All as expect but it's in the game when I start a download or something the problem happens.

 Here's some of my logs I have the XR500 in DMZ behind the modem:

[Netduma Fraser]

What's the average ping you're getting to the game as shown by the Geo-Filter?

 

With slower connections it's advised to use Bandwidth Allocation and give your gaming device more bandwidth. 

[plb]

I’ m getting 30ms. So I uncheck share excess bandwidth ? How much should I give at least? My connection is 9mb/0.9mb

[plb]

Just for information what skiped spike in logs mean ?

[Netduma Fraser]

30ms is a good ping so shouldn't have an issue with that. 

 

You could experiment with share excess on/off. Would usually recommend it being enabled. Depends how many devices you have connected to the router but I'd make sure it has at least 0.2mbps.

 

Not sure exactly but logs are for developers so they're verbose. It's not meant for customers to try and diagnose issues. Most likely the Traffic Prioritization circumventing jitter.
