Mach3r Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 This router I thought was helping my bufferbloat but it only suppresses it and then it jumps back up again regardless of the settings I tweak it to. SQM would likely fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrayDay Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 What are you using to test bufferbloat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 18 Administrators Share Posted June 18 SQM is a type of QoS which the router has already - what settings are you using for Congestion Control and SmartBOOST? Alex49H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart boost i prioritize gaming desktop and for congestion control i tweak it but try to stay around 70-75% on download and it still goes over 50ms bufferbloat. Like I said I can get tests to suppress it to 10ms but it always shoots back up. It’s hella frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 18 Administrators Share Posted June 18 The test will always vary depending on the amount of traffic happening, if you're doing the test when barely anything is happening on the network you'll be optimizing QoS to work best when nothing is happening. Personally I'd suggest using this https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-how-to-test-your-internet-ping while downloading/streaming etc. It's best to start with a high value for Congestion Control (Always), 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.

Ok thanks, I’ll try doing some more in depth testing and see if I can get it to be consistent. I just bought a new modem and have Cat 8 Ethernet so that shouldn’t be the issue Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
