Jakerod12 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hi I am having the same issues whatever router i seem to use where someone in my house will download something on there console and qos will do nothing. Basically useless, where the ping spikes go crazy and i use pingplotter and the spikes are all over the place. Call of Duty literally seems impossible to play whilst there is a download on.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 What are your bandwidth speeds? How are all devices connected? Does it happen if everything is connected to your ISP router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 Check the ISP router as well, it will help narrow down the issue - what is the ISP router model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 Quite a standard router so shouldn't be causing any issues, do you still have devices connected to it when using another router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerod12 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 No nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 Try it with the BT hub with any other router disconnected from it and normal amount of devices connected to the hub and see if it happens. When another router is connected have you got the BT hub WiFi disabled, in bridge mode or another router in its DMZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 is this when someone else is watching Netflix or twitch for example? Theres a large issue that BT users suffer with as well as it’s sister companies and BT finally recognised the issue and just before covid they were going to push a fix out but you still see complaints on their forum. Just wanted to mention it as it’s a known issue and might be what you are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would cause a bit of a hassle with everyone at the moment so im gonna have to try later tonight. BT Hub has wifi disabled, Netduma is in BTs DMZ. 2 minutes ago, Newfie said: is this when someone else is watching Netflix or twitch for example?

Ping spikes all over, bullet reg off, They literally take up 100% of the 70mbps i have so i cant do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Could you post a picture of PingPlotter showing it, that will help to show what’s going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakerod12 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Switched to R2 which is probably one of the most reliable routers i have but once his download resumes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 The ping spikes aren't massive really so it's surprising it would be giving you that much hassle. Can you provide a screenshot of your current QoS settings please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerod12 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 They may not be massive but i can feel it in game, i always feel behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerod12 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 When there is no download, that ping line is basically flat and gameplay feel unbelievably good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2021 For Traffic Prioritization re-add the console select Normal and Apply to WAN - if you ISP supports it you may notice a bit more of a benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed your other photo below shows the upload at max which looking at that PingPlotter result matches. If you did set your upload to 18 which is your max you will see that spike. Have you been turning the BT router on and off a few times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your test shows you have limited your download but it’s showing 18 which is the max you can get. Did you run the test with max upload set? how many times have you turned the BT router off?
