I have set up my dm200 model and connected my netgear xr500 to the modem internet is all working but again when I’m running a bufferbloat test my results are coming back and I’m getting spikes at 300ms plus sometimes more I ain’t getting the bufferbloat down at all no matter how much I bring the sliders down I’m beginning to think this was a waste of money because I’m also getting an in game ping between 50 and 70 which I think is high considering I’m in the uk I’m playing warzone just now even black out I was getting a 30 ping but this game I’m getting 70 most of the time. The bufferbloat issue is what’s bothering me the most iv watched you tube videos of guys with the same router showing you how to get the bufferbloat to less than 10 ms consistently and mine just isn’t doing that no matter how far I lower my sliders. When I have my sliders at Netgear’s recommendations which is at 70% my bufferbloat is in the thousands would really like some help in this because it’s really making me think I have wasted my money on this product and iv had very little help with my queries about this

Is the DM modem in bridge mode? This one was model modem that has a built in router if I remember correctly.
- No it’s in modem mode iv set it to why am I getting these crazy tests on dsl reports about my bufferbloat I don’t get it
Do you get those results with a wired PC connected directly to the DM modem?

- These aren't the PingPlotter tests I suggested, don't worry about DSLReports, follow the guide/suggestions I made and see what PingPlotter shows. Also remove the manual Traffic Prioritization rule as it is covered by DumaOS Classified Games.
- It doesn’t matter about the ping plotter tests there’s a load of YouTube’s telling me to use this site because it’s the best site to target bufferbloat battle non sense is one of them who knows his stuff about networking there is a problem on my network and this site shows me there is a problem iv used ping plotter also already used the free trial already so I’m not paying money to use it again to find out the same stuff I already found out it was showing bad results also there is definetly a problem with my connection as I can feel it when I’m gaming and dsl reports tells me there is major bufferbloat so why would I not pay attention to that ?
- Figure 1.none saturated
Figure 2. packet loss and very high latency
Figure 3. Saturated (Netflix)
Three tests with sliders at 65%
