QOS settings for 1 gig down/40 meg up, Xfinity cable modem
Hi, I’ve been a competitive video gamer for a long time and have just recently decided to buy my own equipment rather than use the ISPs equipment (shocker I know). I love the NETGEAR nighthawk gaming ...
You will need to use QoS for upload as that is what games primarily use, you also have plenty as games barely use any bandwidth. Use 70% for upload to start with.
Ok thank you, I will try this and then I will check my ping via the geo filter as well and post pictures.
So after our discussion yesterday I figured it would be worth another shot to try out the No QOS setup. It worked well but definitely still some lag here and there. I have attached a photo of my ping to the peer at the time not the server. Apparently games use a dedicated/peer combo these days. The game is call of duty modern warfare.
In addition, I'm trying the QOS on, 70% method with dumaOS games enabled and my PS4 on the traffic prioritization. So far everything is working fine and i will update my findings.
- Sometimes hosts that appear as peers can be misclassified and are actually servers so that's most likely what has happened there, we can fix that with a cloud update. Glad it's going well so far, do keep us posted.
