Levity Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 So... if you're playing on console do not... i Repeat do not use "QOS" i had qos off i meant off compared to on and it honestly felt like it's more stable and consistent compared to when it is on. Maybe it is just towards me, it felt more laggy when qos is enabled. i followed all steps with antibufferbloat and everything 70% to 70% on sliders, even adjusting the sliders and nothing worked. It just felt like a smooth router with qos off. i'm sorry to have to state this but for an expensive router, this router shouldn't be release yet!...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2019 I wouldn't suggest advising this to people, QoS solves a problem and with it off the connection can become much worse. If it works fine for you off then you probably don't have any local congestion in the first place which may not be everyones situation. Have you adjusted while saturating your connection and following this guide? http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-how-to-test-your-internet-ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerOnTap Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 QoS is just fine for me. This post is definitely anecdotal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted September 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2019 QoS usually helps, but if it's badly configured it could cause unintentional problems. Distributing your bandwidth poorly, turning the bufferbloat sliders too low, prioritizing too much traffic, these could all cause issues. Also, the more things you have prioritized, the more processing power will be required to run QoS. It might be that the improvements seen from disabling QoS in your case were because QoS was using so much processing power that the whole router slowed down. This can unfortunately also occur on aging hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Alex Posted September 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2019 Oh I thought we were in the R1 forum, whoops. No the XR500 should be fine in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
