XR1000 Bufferbloat until I cut network connection breifly
I have been having an issue with my Router for a while now. Been trying so many different things to get it back to where it was. So for testing I have Ping Plotter pinging a Dota 2 server near me....
What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g. XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode
Are ALL devices connected to the XR? Could you grab the log when it happens please?

Hi!
This is a Netgear XR1000v1.
Latest firmware - 1.0.0.72_1.0.62.

Nearly all devices are connected directly to the XR. With exception of an AP for wireless because to behonest, this router was nothing but drop outs on wifi, so I got a seperate one. Also my Security camera's are connected via a POE Switch that is then connected to the router.
So for some context, I am streaming a video from my server PC (over the net, to then my phone, or PC, doesn't matter what device it serves. Most of the time it works without hiccups. But sometimes out of no where, the router CPU0 is stuck at 100% and latency all over the network is ramped up.
During this time, I do a speed test from my main PC and get near my max speed 900mbps. However, from the linux server I am getting max 80-100mbps.
I go to Settings --> Internet Setup and I don't have to change anything, I just press apply. It will briefly disconnect as it applies the settings again. But now I can stream from my server to my phone, and Ping Plotter barely spikes above 5ms the normal rate.
And now if I do a speedtest on the server it runs at 850-900mbps.
This will last anywhere between a day to 5 minutes. Then I'll have to do it again.
Usually it is really hard to navigate the settings cause of the CPU0 being pegged at 100%.
It is worth mentioning, that I have tried many different configurations with CC and Traffic prioritization.
It never makes a difference, in fact, while the issue is happening, it is worse to have CC enabled.
Currently it is turned off.
- It seems to me that you're being bombarded by connections from China which could well be causing the issue. Do you have a dynamic or static public IP address? If you have dynamic then I would unplug your modem for 10 minutes, then plug in, see if you get a different IP address and monitor whether the issues happen again
I have a static IP from my ISP
