connection benchmark

Besides the auto qos this is def my fav feature..question tho ..i got a+but are these ping spikes normal?

[Zippy]

 Imo those are not normal.. Those type of spikes would not result in an A+ results.. Are you on a pc when logged into your R2? If not try your pc..  If you get the same results then maybe a reboot is needed.. If you look at some of the details in your results you can see that something doesnt make sense.. Example is your jitter is 5.53ms. That seems like a fair share of jitter.. Has it always been like that?

Thanks.

Slightly better on a PC, are you using QoS? Have you changed the Congestion Control percentages at all?

[MassaDebata85]

yes using qos and no i havent..but it detects full speed no matter what with qos on or off in the benchmark

Congestion Control doesn't affect the speed aspect because it's a test of your general connection, seeing if you get your normal speeds throughout the day etc. It does however affect Ping Under Load so try different percentages to bring this down as much as possible.

Wouldnt hurt to have your coax cables checked.. Thats a good idea! Glad to hear you dont have the puma chipset in your modem.. Im not on the same ISP as yourself but the only time ive had any luck getting control of ping was when I went to a DOCSIS 3.1 modem..  I cant wait until I can wipe my hands clean of cable.. lol.. It is indeed rubbish!

i believe  i have a docsis 3.1 but ill have to check..and agreed.  i had fios at my last place and got crazy gameplay.

[MassaDebata85]

nope i have a netgear cm500..docsis 3.0..says up to 300 mb..but i get 350..wonder if i should get a docsis 3.1

[Netduma Fraser]

The performance increase is better than 3.1 whether or not it will help with the ping is uncertain.
