I gig connection

Is QoS a necessity for a 1 Gig connection?

That depends on your network, the amount of clients and what’s being served via the net or internal sources.

I use it for videos games and movies and about 5 people using the internet.

It will still be quite useful in that case! I'd suggest following the below guide to get it setup.

Only TP will be necessary in your case! However, you can set the QOS to 70/70% in case the other 4 and more devices "saturate" the bandwidth DL. But that is really unlikely!

Can anybody tell why I'm getting a D on speed test? and how to fix it.

[Netduma Fraser]

It's because it's reporting half the value you have set, as long as you're getting expected speeds through speedtest.net for example then no need to worry, the router won't be limiting you.

Is this like a bug or something?

Yes and no, it's due to the speedtest servers we use, they don't report the full speeds for everyone, it depends on what server it tries to connect you to

Will it get fix?

We will try to improve it as much as we can but it will be limited by the locations of the available servers

Okay. Another question we are for 4 gamers and 1 person is music lover, but we don't game at the same time on a 1 gig connection. Should I turn off CC?

You don't have to disable it but you could set it to Auto Enable so it only applies when gaming and the rest of the time you'll get full bandwidth

Will I see any benefits at 1Gig with CC set to on? will it be any king of BB or saturation?

[Netduma Fraser]

You won't see any saturation with QoS on regardless of the speeds. Although it's harder to saturate your speeds a single download could saturate it which is why it's still a good idea to use it.

Okay, thanks.
