Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hey, welcome to the forum! First of all, with so many devices and people in your household even with your high speeds I suspect there may be some local congestion there - each person has about 110Mbps to play with and if any one of them tries to do a download that will saturate the entire connection. What QoS settings are you using currently? I would advise you not to port forward, it's not really necessary as you will have an Open NAT on your PC through the R2 just using UPnP. The Asus behind the R2 could be put into AP mode, that would allow you to control devices on an individual basis better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayDaysTech Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 i did the auto setup also reason i didnt put it into ap mode was i felt like i was gonna lose some asus settings see pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2022 Put the Download for Congestion Control to 70%, I would suggest using Always as well and you can delete the Valorant rule as that doesn't appear to be prioritizing, then see if it is any better. If you are using Settings that you'd like to continue using on the Asus then don't put it in AP mode - QoS on the R2 will still be effective.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2022 Is that where you're seeing the packet loss as well? If so, Traffic Prioritization can impact those tests, better to use Connection Benchmark and adjust QoS to get the Ping Under Load graph as close to the Ping Test graph as possible.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2022 Don't do Auto, use Always and lower the percentages, do a test, changes percentages, do a test etc until you get the Ping Under Load graph looking like the Ping Test graph/as flat as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
