Shooting Marshmellows

[scbba]

No matter what setting I have on the r3 Im shooting marshmallows in all fps games. I have 500/500 down fiber by Live Oak with MoCA 2.5 because where I live atm, I can't run wired from the ONT. I gave the sliders at 70/70 steady ping at 32ms because I have one of my hops between 11ms and 7ms. My base ping to the servers is about 15ms to 19ms, depending on which server in Atlanta I connect to. We don't have a lot of activity its just me and 1 other person using the internet I use wired, and they use wireless. I have the 70/70 set to always. I've tried turning off steady ping and smart boost, and it's still the same results. Does anyone know what I'm missing? I forgot to mention I am on the last R3 firmware as I have only had it for 2 weeks.

Have you adjusted from 70%? That is only a starting point so there may be a better percentage for you. By steady ping at 32ms does that mean you're using expert? If so switch to simple and try with that. Force a server slightly further away, even if it has a higher ping it may play better. How do you have SmartBOOST set?

Ive tried from 60 to 100 on sliders and I have tried simple and expert with no change. I even went as far as buying a public ip to get away from cgnat

Your ping sounds fine and it's unlikely you're experiencing any congestion so I think forcing some different servers might give you a better experience

ok I will move the geo filter around this week and report back this weekend

Ok, vou reorganizar o filtro geográfico esta semana e volto com novidades no fim de semana. 

 

Vc recebe 500/ 500 vá em teste de velocidade do R3 configure 300/ 300 sem seguida vá e cc e ponha 65 de download e 70 para upload e vê se melhora, outra coisa não há necessidade de por PS5 no SmartBOOST ao meu ver.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Will moving the filter cause a better route ?

No worries - it doesn't force a different route but if the servers you're usually connecting to are under load they may perform poorly. Forcing other servers even if they have a slightly higher ping may have less load and therefore give you a better experience

I can get a A+ plus on Wi-Fi but I’m in os5 wired connection and i still shoot marshmallows. I’m not sure what’s going on

People focus too much on that test IMO, it's not a definitive indicator that you'll have great games. Did you try forcing different servers to see if they play any better?
