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
And another reason why I use QOS despite the fact I have gigabit download speed is because I have so many devices on my internet which gives me lots of bufferbloat and it hinders my online gaming experience. Almost makes it aggravating to even play or enjoy gaming.
- Yeah I would say go with 900, that seems about average based on what you're saying. Then set Congestion Control to Always and experiment with the percentages to see what works best for you, we usually suggest 70% for download/upload as a starting point and go from there.
- Hey I’ve also heard that duma os is beta testing new QOS software for the R2. Do you have any idea if the new features will land on the xr1000?
- That will be the idea, assuming NG are wanting it (don't see why they wouldn't). It's in a sort of Alpha stage at the moment so very new, getting a lot of testing on it.
