Congestion Control Mode doesn't work.

[sw3ar]

When I set it to Auto it doesn't change internet speed while in game, connected to a server. It stays the same.

Do you have speedtest bypass enabled? Is SmartBOOST actively prioritizing the game?

No. Yes.

[Netduma Fraser]

Can you provide a screenshot of your Congestion Control settings, SmartBOOST, your speed test result and let us know what your speeds are please

This is during match of BF6. It should be max 200 with 33%.

[Netduma Fraser]

Is it throttling if you set it to Always? If you use speedtest.net do you see the speeds reduce?

[sw3ar]

What do you mean by throttling? It works on always but I don't want to use my internet at 33% when I am not gaming or changing it every time I play.

No speed reduction at https://www.speedtest.net/ 

[Netduma Fraser]

Throttling = reducing speed. I know it's just to determine what is working. I know the activities on SmartBOOST show prioritizing but is the actual main part of SmartBOOST that shows the traffic showing prioritized activities? If you prioritize the device does it reduce the speed when testing on auto?

I have PC as top priority all the time, so no, it doesn't reduce.

[Netduma Fraser]

Have you put the PC in the DMZ or done any internet rules?

[sw3ar]

Only opened ports.

If I turn them all OFF it doesn't change anything.

I don't want to remove them.

[Netduma Fraser]

Could you take your device off SmartBOOST please and leave the activities and check again. In theory, prioritizing the entire device will also prioritize the speedtest over Congestion Control

Didn't help

I also have upnp enabled and added static IP for PC, fyi.

[Netduma Fraser]

Are you using HybridVPN or Static Routes?

Have you disabled DPI? When did this start happening exactly? You said it doesn't change the speed when you're in game but you have other things like Netflix prioritized, does it reduce speed when using other activities other than gaming?

No

What's dpi? Where I can check this?
EDIT: Found it. It's ON.

Yes, because of the description of Auto mode: Auto will apply when gaming or work traffic is detected

No. When I watch Netflix, Kick, Twitch, YT it doesn't reduce.



 

[Netduma Fraser]

When did it start happening, after changing settings, upgrading, changing the physical setup etc?

[sw3ar]

I think it never worked from the beginning. I had it on always but wanted to try Auto because in a week I will upgrade to 1 gb internet so I don't want to have it reduced always to 20% (200) to have better bufferbloat.

What can I do next?
