Bufferbloat Download

[e32iL]

hello dear community,

I use the xr500 and no matter what settings I've tried I get the ping under load in the download not less than 25ms. my base ping is 12ms. vodafone business 1000mbit down 50 up. upload is 0-4ms under load. could it be that the fritzbox 6591 doesn't get a better ping under load? Unfortunately, I can't upload the firmware to 7.50 because vodafone does that unless I get my own modem, but I really don't know if that will do anything. could a switch to the r2 solve the problem? I'm really desperate, I don't have a packet loss in the game, but I feel like I'm 1 second behind the opponents.

It's best to start with a high value for Congestion Control, say 95% then do a test, decrease by 10%, test, decrease by 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good and then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. It's important to note that Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value and that you may have a better experience with differing values.

should I drop by 10 and play a round or just do a bufferbloat test? I've really tried everything possible, each time pretty much the same ping under load results. In the game I have eg 19ms latency, players with 60-70ms kill me so easily. if they were better ok but it feels  like connection because some of my shots don't land either.

Drop and just do the test, though you could play a round if that's what you're more concerned with, they may be getting lag compensated
