Extreme gaming lag on raids.
I play an mmorpg called Everquest with 53 other people weekly. While burning a target on raids the lag is extremely bad, so bad I can’t click my buttons. Many other people in the raids have complained...
It seems like my best dslreports bufferbloat readings and my lowest game lag and ping occurs when I have QOS and Antibufferbloat completely turned off on the XR500 and my S8000 switch set to 256out and 16in. I just don't get why I paid $350 for a router when I get my best readings with all of its functions turned off and the $80 switches functions turned on. Seems like I wasted $350 on a Netgear router when I should have kept my old Comcast router and just ran the S8000 $80 switch.
I wouldn't nessercarily trust the DSLreports stats on anti-bufferbloat. They're tuned to detect stuff like fq-codel, which is a commonly used anti-bufferbloat technique. DSLreports isn't tuned to detect the DumaOS anti-bufferbloat, which is an entirely different method that we developed in house.
