The XR500 gaming router dosen't eliminate "shoot first, die first", I have set the congenstion control, portfowarding, still happens.

Hey Compoza_ Unfortunately, this issue is one that's very difficult to measure, but a lot of users on our forum (forum.netduma.com) have shared their personal configurations and setups that worked for them. You could check that out if you wanted to! I can also try to assist, if you could just share a screenshot of your current QoS configuration I can make suggestions as to what needs optimising! A few other questions: Are all devices on the network connected to the XR500? Are you using Geo-filter to ensure you're always connected to local, low ping lobbies? Or are you using it to play on more distant servers? Are you experiencing this same issue in every game, or do you find that you have some good games and some bad games?

here is the Qos pictures taken https://imgur.com/a/SbkF1hF question 1: Yes question 2: yes, but at the moment, I have disabled it because SBMM in COld War takes longer to find a match, between 10-20 minutes, when I have geo filter enabled. question 3: yes I experience it in every game, shoot first, die first

OK thank you, currently I don't believe QoS will quite have full control over the network. I'd suggest reducing this much further to arond 30-40%, though this will require some trial and error testing. With Geo-filter disabled, where are the servers you're getting put on? Are they still local? What's the average ping you're getting from these games?

Where is the confirmation that anti buffer float is optimised? What do you mean with trial and error? Where can I see when I have set it right?
