CRarsenxL Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Need help with xr300 qos settings. what is the absolute best settings for PS4? I’ve got fios 940/840 cat 8 cabling all the way around ( I know it’s overkill) after all my devices connected I get around 500-600 or 400-500. I’ve been tinkering with bufferbloat, bandwidth allocation and traffic prioritization. need help optimizing! As long as other devices on my network work, I’m ok with it. I need my PS4 with all the juice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your PS4 does not need all the juice, games use very little bandwidth in all honestly, also the XR300 is probably underpowered for your line's throughput, at those speeds you would have a hard time saturating it, so QoS really isn't needed. Also make sure you have updated to the hotfix below to prevent your router from being attacked remotely and taken over. https://kb.netgear.com/000062023/XR300-Firmware-Version-1-0-3-44-Hot-Fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! As above, gaming uses less than 1mbps in most cases. I'd recommend going through these guides for our recommended settings: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I haven’t touched the bandwidth allocation section. I’ve tested it multiple times. I leave the PS4 at the bare minimum bandwidth to get 4K bandwidth in game (bo4). I play comp cod so I’m not using dedi servers more player hosted servers. How would I go about reducing latency to player hosted servers? Also, is the xr300 not powerful enough for gig speeds? With all my devices connected I’m at 500-600, 450-550 range. How come I get 100-5 on my PS4? That never happen on my ISP FIOS G3100 besides usual throttling hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2020 You'll need to use QoS for that since you can't change/force different servers in your scenario, follow the QoS guide in the guides I linked and that should give you a good starting point. There will be a section that describes how to get full speeds as well so try that. Console tests aren't usually too accurate but if you're using the Geo filter or Traffic Prio then that could affect the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Would you recommend disabling traffic prioritization? I have at least 15 devices on my network. I just want consistency bullet reg on player hosted games (custom games) and 4K bandwidth to insure I don’t die in 1 bullet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 So QoS anti buffer bloat = 70-70 bandwidth - leave it alone? traffic prioritization- off geo filter - off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2020 I would highly recommend you do use Traffic Prio as that will prioritize your gaming traffic above all else but other than that yes. 70/70 is a good starting point so see how it is and then adjust if needed.

CRarsenxL Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 The thing is... I already get low speeds so I feel like allocating bandwidth is necessary since my xr can’t pick up the higher speeds I’m getting w the isp router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 There is no ''best setting''. Everyone has a different internet connection. - Do your Ps4 in Traffic Prio as 'Game Console'. - Give your PS4 30% of your bandwidth (gaming doesn't need a lot of bandwidth). - Start with Antibufferbloat at 70/70% and saturate your line and watch with PingPlotter how your ping remains the most stable.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2020 You could always set Anti-BB to never and then just use Traffic Prio exclusively to prioritize your gaming devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I still instant die in this. Would you recommend setting the XR300 in AP mode for wireless devices or bridge my G3100 and leave the xr as the primary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 15, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2020 If you do not want to use QoS or the Geo-Filter then you could do that if you wish. Just remember that when in AP mode all the DumaOS features are unable to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRarsenxL Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’m assuming the amount of wireless devices I have is too bottlenecks the router with my gaming devices. I have 2 routers. XR300 and G3100 by Fios. I could set XR for wireless and use G3100 for wired for gaming. Or vice versa but I’d have to bridge the G3100. What do you recommend. Say I choose the XR as my primary. What would you recommend settings wise if I only have my PS4 + bridged g3100, for this config? Specific settings....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2020 It's unlikely, how many wireless devices do you have? I don't think you need to routers in router mode for different connection types. I would recommend you either use one for all or put one in AP mode. There are no specific settings, still put the priority on your console, you'd need to put the G3 in the DMZ of the XR though if you have any issues with devices connected to it.
