Congestion control and PPPoE

[Jackal235]

Does the CC work on PPPoE connection?

[Netduma Fraser]

Yes it does

My buffer bloat is very bad.

Grade B,  unloaded 5ms, downloaded active +36ms, uploaded active 25ms.

Tried sliders at almost every position and this is the best I can do.

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?

What are the speeds you pay for/receive? 

Have you entered those speeds into the router?

How have you setup Congestion Control?

How have you setup SmartBOOST?

What game are you playing?

What platform are you playing on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi?

How have you setup the Geo-Filter?

    -R3 connected to Giga Hub 4000 in advanced DMZ mode.  It allows passthrough and extra PPPoE connection.

Are ALL devices connected to the R3?

   -No. Most of my devices are connected to my ISP modem/router. Only PS5, and windows laptop to R3.

What are the speeds you pay for/receive? 

   -Fibre 3G up, 3G down

Have you entered those speeds into the router?

    -Yes, it doesn't accept anything above 1G

How have you setup Congestion Control?

    -Run ping optimizer, then played with sliders in congestion control. (speed test bypass on, Auto on)

 have you setup SmartBOOST?

    -only added call of duty series as an activities 

What game are you playing?

    -BO7

What platform are you playing on and how is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi?

    -PS5 connected via CAT 7 ethernet

How have you setup the Geo-Filter?

    -Ps5 as the only device, steady ping on, most games within 30ms in my area, drops to 15 ms if study ping off. Very few games play smoothly.

Presumably you're connecting most of the devices to the Giga hub given your speeds, that is why you can't seem to stabilize the bufferbloat test more as the router is not controlling your entire network. It's also kind of unnecessary for you to run the test through the router as it's only capable of 1Gbps so a third of your connection so you won't be able to saturate your connection (which is when bufferbloat happens) assuming you're doing downloads through the giga so I wouldn't worry about the results at all
