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 ...
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.
- So just a little update on my experience. I have gone back to no ipv6 enabled. I lowered my overall WiFi speed to 800 mbps rather than at the recommended 945 mbps. Yes still have QoS on and at 70%sliders. I also have ports forwarded 3478-3480 for the PS4 along with an address reservation. This seems to be working well at the moment.
