XR500 Problem - Enabling QOS limits Max Download Speed
Hello, This is either a user error(me) or a problem with the router firmware. When I enable QoS, my maximum dowloads through the Steam client drop from 45MB down to 25MB. I'm on Firmware Version : ...
Hi Alex, this is how the QoS works. It limits the bandwidth that greedy devices/applications take so that you do not experience any local congestion. I'd recommend clicking the ? icon on Anti-Bufferbloat to get to grips with how that works exactly.
Hmm.. today it looks like the QoS is on and I'm getting max download speeds. Maybe something changed when I refreshed my modem the other day. Appears to be working for now, but will report back if I find an issue.
Thanks, Fraser.
Good to hear it's all working Alex. Thanks for the update
