Atzenkeeper500 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Hi there, Greatings from Germany. I bought an XR500 and did the Update to the last Duma Firmware (RC14) and after that I did a Factory Reset. All Devices get an DHCP-IP and I fixed them in the LAN-Settings to be a Static-IP in the Range 1-49. After that i Changed the DHCP-Radius to 50-250 Range. I have a Vodafone Cable Modem (in Modem/Bridge Mode) with 1000 Down/50 Up Speed. I have no 2. Router or Access Point in my HomeNetwork. My PC is connected direct to the Duma-Router. Share Access is ticked ON in QoS. In Traffic Prioritisation only DumaClassified Games is ON. I read some of the Support Threads and want to Answer some of your Standard-Questions Have you got any devices in the DMZ? - No Made any port forwarding rules? - No, only UpnP Made any Traffic Rules? No Any priorities triggering on SmartBOOST when a test is done? - No, also have no SmartBoost Feature After the Update and Factory Reset I used the Bandwith Allocation and gave my Gaming-PC a little more Bandwith % (Down- and Upload) then the Rest of the Devices. Then I tested the Waveform Blufferbloat and started with 70/70% in QoS (Always ON) and the Result were B with higher Latency. Then I tested down to 250Mbit Down/35 Mbit Up and had always a Bad Result with higher Latency Spikes. Then I reseted the Bandwith Allocation for Down and Up-Load so that every Device has the same Bandwith. I tested the Blufferbloat again and Magic I had a A+ Result with 2+ Ms Latency for Download and 0 for Upload - not logic for me, but OK. I tested a bit more with 230Mbit Down/30Mbit Up but didn´t get a 0/0 Ms Latency Result, but it was OK for me. I had around 6-8 Blufferboat Test-Runs and always A+ with a bit Latency for Download. I tested some Rounds Black Ops 6 and the The Hit Reg felt better for me. With this I went to sleep. Today in the Morning, I started my PC, logged in the Duma and the Setting were like yesterday. I started the Bufferbloat again and the Results were B and C, with high Latency Spikes on Download and Upload. I tested a bit with the QoS Sliders but the Results didn´t get better. I restarted the Duma, but no better Results. Now I am on work, I will restart the ISP-Modem when I am back Home, but why I have this inconsistent in the Results? My wife watched a TV-Stream on the iPad while I tested the Bufferbloat today but I ended the stream and did a Final Waveform Test-Run and the Result wasn´t better. But even she watched a Stream, should I get a good Result in the Buffer-Test? I mean for what I have the QoS and the Bandwith Allocation. When I am gaming, my wife will use here iPhone for Insta and maybe watch a Netflix Stream or something like that and the Buffer-Quality should be stable or I am missing something? This is a real Life Senario where People beside you play, use the same Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 30 Administrators Share Posted January 30 I'd suggest testing with downloads while following: https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ start with a high value e.g 95%, test, decrease 10%, test, decrease 10% etc, until you get to a value that is pretty good, then try 5% either side of that value to see if it can be improved. Important to note that Download/Upload on CC don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values. This is more of a real world test as you'll be doing your normal traffic (just to an extreme) and finding the percentage that works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atzenkeeper500 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I will try the pingplotter. I restarted my ISP Modem and reseted the Duma again, no better Results than an A with 14-16 Spikes at Download and around 10-15 on Upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atzenkeeper500 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 After Hours, I don´t know why but hope it stays constant. I flashed the Duma 6 times back and forth - to the last Netgear FW and yours. There not so much Settings and I always use the same. 230 Mbps for Down and 26 Mbps for Upload and Test-Results are stable last 2 Hours. With the same Settings I had around 20+ Latency and today in the Morning also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 31 Administrators Share Posted January 31 Good to hear, let's hope it continues! As long as you've fine tuned it based on PingPlotter then regardless of what the site says you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atzenkeeper500 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 After a few Hours, I changed nothing on my Side - maybe ISP related. I will not change or reset in the Duma for the next Days and will try to Test Daily to diffent Times PostelDude007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 31 Administrators Share Posted January 31 See how it actually performs rather than focusing on the results of a test that don't saturate your connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
