XR1000 QOS for gigabit
So I have Xfinity internet with 1200 download and about 40-43 upload. I live in a smart home so I usually have 25 plus devices connected to the internet with only 4-5 of them being inactive on the net...
You should set the speeds to a rough average of what you usually see through the router without QoS set. You do have high speeds so it's less needed but if you do any downloads/any devices update in the background I would suggest using it. I'd recommend taking a look at our optimal settings guides which will help you get sorted https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646
See that’s the thing. Even when I have QOS set to never and I test speeds. I get fluctuating speeds almost every test. No test consistent to one or the other so it’s hard for me to choose a set speed. My download speeds are inconsistent but my upload speed is always a consistent 40 to 41. If my download speeds are fluctuating. Should I set the speed to like 900 if I’m getting 860-947 numbers and in between with every speed test taken. I believe I should set my upload to 41 as it’s the rough average. I watched freethys info on duma os and he said to set the QOS speeds to your worst time of the day internet speeds. I’ve tried all numbers but yet I still get jitter spikes. I just believe I’m doing something wrong for my set up. I run a CM2050V Netgear modem and use my xr1000 for internet access.
