Kovski Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hello, I recently purchased a XR500 as I wanted to adress my suboptimal bufferbloat issues I had. Sadly, as of right now, it barely (if at any) changed with the XR500. My setup: ISP - A1 Austria VSDL2 A1 Wlan Box (DSL Modem/Router Combo) Zyxel 3101DX - I put it in bridge modus manually. I also tried my even older VV2200, which I couldnt set to bridge modus as it's locked from the provider. XR500 Lan to my device I tried every basically every setting, from 95% to 5%. I barely have any changes, while also even having small package losses when I am uploading. I had the same on my A1 Wlan box (which was the reason for the purchase beforehand) I added some pictures. I would appreciate help as I honestly want to keep the router, but as of right now I can use the provider combo and get almost the same results. I tested both the Zyxel 3101 and the VV2200 and I am quite certain they dont have a puma 6/7. My English isn't that great, so be patient with me.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Don't use Connection Benchmark for the moment as we are still making improvements to that. Can you provide the full screenshot of Ping Plotter please? I assume ALL devices are connected to the XR? Your English is great, don't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovski Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Right now only my PC is connected to the XR, for testing purposes. But yes, everything will be connected to the XR. This is 70/70 settings (results are always quite the same tho) First picture is while downloading (which seems reasonable) What interval should I be using for testing btw? Second picture is upload with packet loss. I used speedtest.net + Anti-Bufferbloat deactivated looks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2021 For the interval you need to be using 2.5s, anything less than this can show false results. Change to that and redo the tests if you don't mind and post the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovski Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Anti Bufferbloat - Off Anti Bufferbloat - 70/70 Quite weird behavior isnt it? 35/35 Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2021 It is odd, would you be able to connect everything to the XR and then re-run it? QoS will be most effective then and will also rule out the other devices causing issues the XR can't resolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovski Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 My wife played guild wars 2 (and watching netflix on the second screen) while I was watching youtube on my phone. Did the retest on my PC and everything looked exactly like the screens before. What's weird is that if I disable Anti Bufferbloat I don't get packet loss, while with AB on, it's always at least 5%. What could the issue be? ISP connection? The Zyxel Modem? User error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 18, 2021 Take the Zyxel out of bridge mode. Put the XR WAN IP into the Zyxel DMZ instead and connect all devices to the XR, then retest while you are connected via ethernet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovski Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Sadly still the same results. Download is pretty good tho, as it is only a 5 ms increase, but the packet loss is an issue. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2021 Looks like you've changed the interval lower to 1, what does it show for 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
