Hi,

- i have adsl internet 15/1 mbps speed
- i have only prioritised gaming (not device)

issue : when i have some devices downloading (my pc, phone, steam ....) it takes all speed and i can't even open a website and gaming starts lagging until disconnecting

any help please ?

You need to setup Congestion Control in Ping Optimizer > Advanced to prevent that happening. Try 80% for download & upload while set to Always and try again.

Great to hear that! So bufferbloat/lag occurs when your connection speeds are being used fully - this happens when doing a download for example and for lower speeds like yours this can happen more often even if a download isn't happening. By reducing your speeds by 20% in this case it prevents your full speeds being used and thus prevents the bufferbloat/lag from occurring.
