Disable QoS. QoS insn't really needed on a 1G ISP service line.

As above, disable it via the Anti-Bufferbloat 3 line menu.

ok when i did that and did speed test it seems slightly better with it on is that true? or placebo?
also why is my download 1/2 that of my upload?
400 down 800 up?
- Netduma-FraserAug 29, 2019NetDuma PartnerThat can't be the case, QoS disabled should always net you the higher speeds or at least the same. Are you testing using wireless or ethernet? Have you put 1000/1000 into bandwidth settings?
- ripper2323Aug 29, 2019AspirantYes I have 1000 Putin in for each category
Ethernet
Hmm
