high bufferbloat readings


Recommended Posts

I'm believe I've asked this before but I couldn't find it on here. I'm just wondering why I'm getting such high latency when I do a buffer bloat on this R3? When I had my R2 and did tests...it didn't make much difference if I had QOS on or not...I would get about a 9 ping and then 5 or 6 upload and 2 or 3 download (I have google fiber with only 2 rings and 3 echos on my internet...that's it) but on my R3 without the QOS I get like a 16 ping and a 50 upload and a 72 download....when QOS on I get a 9 ping with 5 download and a 2 upload which is really good...but I actually feel behind in any shooter game I play. Its really strange. Any suggestion? (haha besides just keep the QOS)

It's really the same answer for anyone who has higher than expected bufferbloat results on one of those sites - you may not have found the values that work best for your connection - the R2 and R3 are completely different hardware and software so what works for one may not work for the other. Those sites are also simulated tests of how your connection would react under load. A real world test using PingPlotter for example may provide you better real time results.

yeah I understand its a different hardware...but why such a HUGE difference?...I dont have much congestion on my internet and the R2 XR700 and XR1000 never had to be in QOS...I just did a test again with my PS% turned off...and my upload was 175ms without QOS....I hooked up my R2 without QOS and my download was 10ms...its just strange thats its just this router...as for the values and setup.....I'm still setting it up the same as the R2 and the XR's...I dont know

Try opening Ping Optimiser on your R3, go to ADVANCED settings and change to Low Latency Only mode. This will make the R3 behave in a similar way to the R2 in terms of how it throttles.

The R3 is more selective with throttling and will only apply throttle when needed, the bufferbloat scores may have been affected by this.
