Billz Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Recently I have been getting terrible bufferbloat results with my XR1000. This has especially been an issue when playing a particular game. Any advice on router settings to mitigate this issue? https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=f99cbde6-c55f-445f-8674-c620c8d053bc
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 19 Administrators Posted August 19 What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode Are ALL devices connected to the XR? What are the speeds you pay for/receive? Have you entered those speeds into the router? How have you setup Congestion Control?
Billz Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 I have a Spectrum ES2251 Modem, with my XR1000 connected to it. My PC is wired to the XR1000, and I use a few other devices over WIFI, all of which are connected. I have never messed with modem settings. I pay for 600/20. Download is usually a little higher (say 630), and upload is in that range. I have manually entered and alsoused NETDUMA tools to detect these speeds. I have played around with congestion control but it doesnt seem to have solved the issue.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 21 Administrators Posted August 21 Make sure you use speeds you've manually entered, 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.
Billz Posted August 25 Author Posted August 25 I tried setting the download and upload to 30% and am still not seeing improvement
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 25 Administrators Posted August 25 Did you follow the above exactly? You saw no improvement with a busy network and slowing decreasing the percentages while doing that test?
Billz Posted August 30 Author Posted August 30 Yes I tried going down 10% at a time and its seemingly random. I did a test a 75% of my upload and got it down to +26 ms. Then I brought it down 10 more percent to 65% and it went back up to +61ms
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 30 Administrators Posted August 30 Okay so what did 70% & 80% give you, i.e. 5% either side of the best value you saw
