Best settings for CS2?

[icon350]

Hello everyone ☺️

does anyone have good settings or recommendations specifically for CS2? 

These are the best bufferbloat values I've gotten so far – unfortunately, they are still quite inconsistent. My maximum often spikes.
I have a Technicolor 7230, which unfortunately can't be set to bridge mode. All Wi-Fi devices are now connected to the R3. I'm trying to achieve the lowest possible values to ensure a responsive gaming experience.


My bandwidth is 400/40, which I’ve currently limited to 100/30



These are my settings: 



I have disabled:
・IPv6 disabled in WAN & LAN settings
・Telemetry
・Steady Ping (not using)
・Geofence (not using)

Currently used firmware: v4.0.540

Should I place my R3 in the DMZ on my Technicolor 7230? Would that make a difference?
How can I improve my settings further?

 

 

 

Thank you in advance for every single suggestion and all the help

Yes the R3 should be put in the DMZ on the Technicolor. You should set the speeds you pay for/receive in the router then use Congestion Control, you're throttling way too much currently which isn't needed. Follow this guide https://support.netduma.com/frequently-asked-questions/legacyfaqs/test-your-ping/ while downloading & start with 95% for Congestion Control (set to Always), check results, decrease by 10%, check, decrease by 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. Download & Upload on Congestion Control don't have to be the same value & you may have a better experience with differing values.

Hi Fraser, thanks a lot for your quick response.

If I don’t throttle my connection quite heavily, I can barely get decent results — I’ve tested quite a bit. I’ve now placed my Netduma R3 in the DMZ. In addition, I just installed firmware version v4.0.645. There’s also an option from my ISP to get the Fritzbox 6660 modem but unfortunately, it can’t be put into bridge mode either. What else can I do to improve things?

Using the DMZ is fine, it's not a necessity to use bridge mode. Make sure ALL devices are connected to the R3, nothing should be connected to the Technicolor, otherwise the R3 can't effectively control your entire network and that will negatively affect your results. What kind of results are you seeing with full speeds entered and just adjusting Congestion Control? Are you just purely focused on these test results or are you experiencing high fluctuations in ping when gaming for example? Did you try the suggestion with the guide above to get more real world results?

Hi Fraser, thanks for your help. I’ve set everything up just as you said. The R3 is being used in DMZ mode, and all devices are connected only to the R3.Regarding the results – the screenshot above shows the best outcome I’ve gotten. The only thing is that I can’t get the "minimum" any lower than what’s shown in the picture. The ping basically stays the same.

What about using PingPlotter guide though rather than the website? What about in game are you seeing these results reflected there?
