We're aware Ping Optimizer isn't 100% reliable currently and we're looking to fix that for the next version. In the meantime you can adjust Congestion Control manually to achieve the same effect which can be found in Ping Optimizer > Advanced.

I did it @Netduma Fraser thank you 👍

Hi Fraser and Alex, when I connect the TIM modem to the Netduma R3 via PPPOE, the 5GHz WiFi doesn't lose any quality on the TV, but then it returns to normal.
However, if I connect the R3 via DHCP, this problem occurs with the 5GHz WiFi. I keep the bands separate. I have the official firmware 4.0.540.

I'm cascading the modem again via PPPOE on the Netduma R3.
I have a Fritzbox 7590 TIM Edition modem with the official FRITZOS 8.20.

Make sure you're using 80Mhz width for 5GHz not the higher value and see if it improves then

I had it set to automatic. But I don't understand why it doesn't cause problems in PPPOE but it does in DHCP.

It doesn't make any sense as they're just methods by which the router connect to the internet/your modem so it shouldn't affect WiFi at all. What do you mean by loses quality?

@Netduma Fraser so I saw a post here not too long ago where you asked them if there Xbox was on sleep mode . My question is does my Xbox have to be on sleep mode in order to work right?

@Netduma Fraser

It loses quality in DHCP mode, meaning that while I'm using 5GHz WiFi on a TV in another room, while I'm watching a YouTube video, the video resolution drops and then reverts to the previous resolution. This doesn't happen in PPPOE mode. I believe there's a bug in the official firmware 4.0.540 that causes WiFi stability to drop in DHCP mode.
Since you're developing the new firmware, I'm reporting this issue while I wait to test it once it's released.

It's likely that due to the change in the connection method that the Congestion Control settings you have set work well with PPPoE but will need to be fine tuned/changed for DHCP, do that and see if you notice an improvement

@Netduma Fraser

My congestion is 70% download and 70% upload. I have a 200 MB FTTC TIM Fritzbox 7590 Tim Edition.
What percentage should I change in DHCP?

@Netduma Fraser

Found the problem. UPnP needs to be enabled in DHCP. I was only using port forwarding on eFootball via PPPOE. Can I use UPnP and port forwarding at the same time?

There are no specific percentages for a connection method and what is best will differ for each person. Glad to hear you found the cause though, as above yes you can.
