Things connected most of the time PC,TWO PHONES,XBOX

I use gaming pc  100% of the time but ocasionly my missis will want to watch netflix on the Xbox and the anti bufferbloat flags high priorty traffic and this is why I was thinking I need to make the most of this whole bufferbloat.

Well, when the levels are set, either way, the router will adjust them to the needs based on whats online and whats the traffic is. So If your gaming and the misses is online streaming once in a while, you'll have to see if the configuration is working for you while gaming or maybe adjust them on the down some. Might Raise the level a bit and test again. You might find a sweet spot that works for you. Again of your the one thats doing the most and only online when others arent' you can raise the levels some.

        If I am reading this right this anti bufferbloat it reducing ping spikes 95% of the time. On the graph when xbox is off my pc latency is around 11ms and then when I turn the xbox on and start a stream on twich for instance I get hugelatency spikes every 2 and half seconds. I then turn bufferbloat on and the graph stabilizes.
