PSNPlayer Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Whenever any device on my network is streaming shows or movies I lag a ton on my PS4 I have 100mbs up and about 6mbs up. I have traffic prioritization on for my PS4 for all ports and for the games I play (battlefield 2042) I even have 25% download for my PS4 and 28% for upload but I continue to lag until those devices aren't streaming anything. When the devices stream they use less than 5mbs download and less than 500kbs upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Are all devices connected directly to the R2? Can you send over a screenshot of how you've currently got QoS configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNPlayer Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Only my PS4 and PC are connected directly to the router by Ethernet cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 OK, for QoS to work properly you need to have all devices on the network connected to the R2, so it has full control over the network. You could try lowering the Download slider in Congestion control down to about 70%, drop upload to 95%/ Then, disable all rules in Traffic Prio except the 'Games Console' rule.

Yeah I still lag even if its just a smartphone watching Youtube, since you said the devices have to be connected to the R2 to have full control that kind of renders QOS useless if they're not wired right?

RedBull2k Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 No. What he's saying all devices must connect to r2 and ur r2 connects to ur hub only. That way the r2 can do the magic. If you have other devices connected to ur hub via ethernet or WiFi then the r2 can not take that into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNPlayer Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 I'm assuming by hub you mean modem and if that's the case yes it's only my R2 and modem. I'm assuming my upload speed is not fast enough but that's kind of the point of QOS to prioritize my PS4/gaming. Would sharing excess bandwidth perhaps be the issue or should I keep lowering congestion control limits to see if that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to put your modem into bridge mode (or DMZ the netduma device), everything else need to be connected to the R2, otherwise it will not help. Test your network over waveform or dslreport, and adjust congestion control accordingly (70% value for both download and upload, seem be working for most of the people, and you can adjust them later if not happy) pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you lower Congestion Control? That is the main feature to prevent lag. You're also prioritizing the console 3 times which could cause conflicts, either use the Games Console rule or DumaOS Classified Games and disable the rest.

PSNPlayer Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Problem still persists after lowering congestion control to 30% for download, I lag when its just a smartphone watching Youtube. I also set that DMZ thing to my PS4s ip but not sure what it does. My PS4 is also the only one being prioritized on every port TCP & UDP, I also have geo filter set to the closest servers ( California ).

Remove the console from the DMZ as that won't be helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNPlayer Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 When you prioritize a device you can select advanced and put the port range to 1-65535. Unless I got the wrong idea of what that does . . . Either way I've had the DumaOS classified games option enabled before and still lagged and I will disable the DMZ option as said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2022 That's what I thought you meant, I wouldn't recommend doing that, if your console starts a background update that will also be prioritized and then cause you to lag. It would be best to either use the Games Console service or add the specific ports that the game uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSNPlayer Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 For now its not much of a problem because it only updates when I use it/turn it on. Is there anything else I can try to stop lagging or is it just a problem with internet speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2022 Could you provide a screenshot of a completed Connection Benchmark test? That will give us some more indication on the quality of your line and the effectiveness of your QoS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2022 So your line does have some jitter/spiking which isn't something we can resolve. Your upload is very high so experiment with the Upload percentage on Congestion Control while set to Always and get that down as close as possible to the download result.

PSNPlayer Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Commenting in this post to avoid creating a new one but any clue when the next update will be available? Hoping something changes with it that can help with this. Yes the problem still continues even after managing to get all the connection tests to A+ (they are even A+ while the TV is streaming) I still lag every time the TV is used for Netflix or any other streaming. It seems like the router is prioritizing the TV (Its not set to be prioritized in Traffic Prioritization) instead of my PS4 which is set to be prioritized.
