MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hey, I have read a couple of threads here, but I decided to open a topic by myself, hopefully I will solve my problem that way. To my problem: I am a competitive Call of duty player and Im playing for money. I have cable internet with 500MB down, 50MB up. My problem is, that most of the time I die so quick, while my enemies needs more bullets than me to die.. Its just more than one Call of Duty, so I decided to buy a xr-500. I have tested the xr-500 a couple of hours, set the QoS to 70% both and I tried it out. It was a little bit better, but not perfect. I have made a bufferbloat test on the Internet and I still got B grade on the website. Now my setup is: modem, edgerouter-4, xr-500 in ap mode, console. I have now 0ms bufferbloat and A+ grade, but its even worse than before? Could someone help me finally fix this problem? I would appreciate that so much.. Maybe I have the wrong settings, I dont know.. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 0 bufferbloat doesn't necessarily matter too much as that only comes into play when your connection is saturated. What is the modem model? If you're playing for money are you playing in private games? What is your average ping shown in game? Where abouts are you located?

MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks for your answer @Netduma Fraser. Yes Im playing in private games, so geo filter is useless for me. Im from Germany. My average Ping ingame is between 27 and 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'd suggest following this guide while saturating the connection with downloads/streams and trying different Congestion Control percentages until you lower the results as much as possible: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-how-to-test-your-internet-ping what are your Traffic Prioritization settings? You may also benefit from putting the setting NAT to Open in WAN Settings so there are no potential port conflicts. What is the model of the modem the edgerouter is connected to? Also the XR should really be behind the modem for QoS to work optimally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I already tried putting the xr behind the modem for QoS, but it doesnt work. I dont have Traffic Priorization settings. How do I put the setting NAT to Open in WAN settings? The modem is a simple Vodafone Station from my ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 What do you mean it doesn't work? Traffic Prioritization is apart of the QoS page, scroll down to see it. Go to Setting > WAN Settings then click Open on the NAT setting instead of secured. The Vodafone station is a router I believe, what settings have you changed on that to ensure an open NAT? Looks like you're essentially using 3 routers at once which is unnecessary and adds extra hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Okay so you would advice me to sell the edgerouter-4? The QoS didnt work, I still had bufferbloat on different websites. This is what I meant. Yes its a router, but I set him to bridge mode. What exactly should I Traffic Priorize in the settings? Edit: So I dont use the edgerouter anymore and I will reset the xr-500. Can you say what exactly I have to set up? Its resetted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 This is from the website: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 This is with 10% QoS on download.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 The results on the sites don't necessarily indicate that the QoS isn't working. You don't necessarily have to sell it but ideally you'd use just one router for routing. I wouldn't worry about these tests specifically, do the tests I mentioned above to fine the best percentage that will work for you. For Traffic Prioritization disable Classified Games and add the console with the Games Console service - Traffic type use Normal if connected via ethernet and enable Apply to WAN.

MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thank you. I will try that. One more problem: I play vanguard on ps5, and on PC I also play vanguard and warzone. How can I set that perfectly up? And which percentage should I put on console/pc etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 So by doing the above that will give you the best Congestion Control settings for the whole network. Bandwidth Allocation you can leave as the default, for PC you can make the same Traffic Prioritization rule for it as above. If you play on WiFi select Gaming/Voice instead of Normal but other than that its all the same. MPiii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thank you! Should I disable upnp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Is this correct so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 You can keep UPnP enabled. Yeah that's good, now just follow the guide and the steps mentioned to find the best Congestion Control settings and you should be good to go.

MPiii Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Got it. So I have to keep UPnP enabled AND NAT setting to open? I have both on 70% and the ping doesnt go that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Traffic Prioritization disable Classified Games and add the console with the Games Console service - Traffic type use Normal if connected via ethernet and enable Apply to WAN. I noticed that under DUMAOS Classified Games, Games Console is already there. I have also set my PC to Games Console. I have tried this way but left Duma Classified Games enabled and they both switch on and off for traffic priority with roughly the same upload and download packets. The only difference is the traffic type is Normal with Apply to WAN setting. My issue now is that my uploads is higher than my downloads and I am quite lost if this is abnormal or completely normal? I am trying to fine tune my connection settings based on my 1gbps upload/download connection which is hardly saturated in the first place as I have less than 10 devices in total in a 3 person household. Any help would be great! I am still not sure if I should set my PC to Games Console though I find it works better than setting it as Computer under Device Type.

Bert Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 What is your ISP and what type of connection / modem do you have? I used Ziggo in Holland and with a Puma6 modem I always had bad results, changing to a enterprise modem with Broadcom chipset made things a lot better for me.

Thanks for posting, could you please create a new topic for you issue? That way we can focus on you. If possible, could you include a screenshot of your current Traffic Prio rules? satinghostrider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPiii Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ive set up all you told me @Netduma Fraser. Take a look at this clip. With this fun you usually need 3-4 bullets. I got also a headshot and 5-6 hits, and he still isnt dead. I think I dont need the Router then, If I still have the problem... Any more suggestions please?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2022 Have you got any other clips? That's quite a distance at almost full auto so would expect more bullets to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPiii Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 This was just an example. Most of the time I get killed by 3 bullets and I need more. Please believe me, Im playing competitive sind 10 years now. I dont know what to do anymore.. Also if Im doing the Benchmark in the router menu, I get "D" because of my download, but when I do a speedtest in the internet, I will get my full download Edit: Should I enable or disable ipv6? I have it disabled right now, but I usually have ipv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
