banjo22 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hi all, Can someone please explain the below? My internet speeds are set, I get around 30 MB on a good day, so Network speeds have been set accordingly, with congestion control set at 70%. If I download something through my NAS, say a torrent, the usage goes up to 77 MB as per the picture, and my home network literally comes to a halt. No one can browse on their phone, play an online game, etc. I have raised this question before: How do I limit the bandwidth my NAS uses? It's not smart boost, listed as a device, or in activities, so I'm not sure why it uses all bandwidth. On the latest firmware, v4.0.540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 14 Administrators Share Posted March 14 Could you disable the uTP option on the torrent client and see if the same behavior continues please? It may also be beneficial to set a download limit on the torrent client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a torrent app, it's called Download Center an official Asustor NAS app. I can see if there are options to do that but still I don't understand with the intelligence of the Netduma how it allows this to happen.

banjo22 Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 This issue still continues to ruin my network. Qbittorrent app on the NAS has been limited to downloading at 1mb! As per the attached, why is the NAS still showing as using over 10mb and still grinding my network to a half? The smart boost isn’t fit for purpose on this firmware, it literally cannot stop the NAS from stealing all the bandwidth no matter what you do on the router.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 5 Administrators Share Posted May 5 What is the model of the modem/router the R3 is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the R3? E.g R3 in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Are ALL devices connected to the R3? How have you setup Congestion Control? Can you provide a screenshot? How have you setup SmartBOOST? Can you provide a screenshot? Did you disable uTP in the torrent app? Have you changed the R3 LAN IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
