So please leave your feedback whether i should buy one or not. For my setup I directly connected from the ONT to the R3. Under WAN: Changed the MAC address to match the Google provided gateway Changed DNS to the best one for me (1.1.1.1 primary, 8.8.8.8 secondary) Disabled upstream DNS Manually keyed in MTU to 1500 Left IPv6*ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.) LAN settings: Left IPv6 *ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.) UPnP enabled Internet rules settings: DO NOT SET ANY INTERNET RULES, DELETE ANYTHING WITHIN HERE. This broke my wifi speeds, wired speeds by literally in half. RGB lighting settings: Turned all off due to stability issues I have ran into with the router Geo filter settings: Disable steady ping Enable geo location Enable strict Ping optimizer settings: Set everything to 100% Congestion control mode set to low latency Speed test bypass is enabled at the moment/on/currently Red Smartboost settings: Turned on smartboost Simple mode enabled Removed all activities and devices Adblocker settings: Manually disabled every device in adblocker Then turned off adblocker. System information: Confirm/set time zone to your timezone Turned off all protection/protocols in troubleshooting and disabled telemetry under troubleshooting. With these exact settings I get these results consistently get 950-980 Mbps through ookla or directly through router speed test. Wireless I'm now getting 750+ Mbps and 4ms ping (when pinging the Texas Google fibers server of course Foreign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How should i set it up etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spdsk8race Posted March 21, 2024 Share Posted March 21, 2024 There isn't a one size fits all for internet or any router honestly. It depends on if you have fiber, docsis, etc etc... what your provider is, what your speed is, what is your personal preference on what you want to achieve from the router.

Okay I understand, I will definitely have to do some more digging, I honestly just want the router for better pings in cod and when the vpn opens i want to use it for better sbmm, i just want it to be as simple as possible with the possibility of having those 2 aspects when it comes to gaming. Im not tryna go crazy advanced with the router you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
