GiorgosTT Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hello! Here are my QoS settings. What I would like to know is if my ps4 data are being prioritized. Bandwidth is enough, as i never have more than two devices online at the same time. Thank you for your time in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBull2k Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 But you do have congestion control mode to off, I would change that to any other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiorgosTT Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Congestion has to do with how bandwidth is distributed between my devices, am i right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2020 Think of your network traffic like a queue, if there is a lot of traffic then the queues are longer and there is congestion which results in laggy games, buffering etc. Congestion Control eliminates that.

GiorgosTT Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 So should i turn it on? Which option is better, auto or always? Thank you for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBull2k Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Up2 you. I use always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiorgosTT Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Ok i used both always and auto. The result was that speed in ps4 was slower than in never. I set the bars in different positions but the result was exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiorgosTT Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 It was slower during the console speed test. I didn't notice any difference in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This is the intended behaviour. By limiting the bandwidth like this, you are shifting the traffic queue from an upstream router to the R2. This means that the R2 can then manipulate this traffic and decide which traffic should take priority, in this case your Playstation. Hence why you reported that you didn't notice any lag in game, because we are aiming for consistently low latency and not necessarily the highest speeds. The trick is to limit the bandwidth to the point where your R2 is still in control of the Traffic, but other devices that aren't being prioritised aren't suffering poor/unusable speeds.

GiorgosTT Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thank you Liam! If i set my bar to 50%, all my devices get 25 mbps download, 2,5 mbps upload according to the speedlab speed test. I guess i will keep it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something you can play with over time and fine tune to your needs! As long as you getting a good connection in game without damaging the experience of other devices on the network, you're good!
