Hi there. Do you have Anti-Bufferbloat set to 'Always' mode? If it's in 'High Priority Traffic Detected Mode' it will only take affect when you're playing a game, which would explain why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Regardless, I recommend you go through this guide just to make sure everything is setup how you like it: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos

Hi there,

Yes, I do have it set to "Always" mode.

Should I be setting it to "When high priority traffic detected" instead?

I'll go through the guide here real quick, thank you.

  Also, does it still make a difference what percentage I have the Anti-bufferbloat set to knowing that I have no other devices or traffic on this network, as it's a dedicated gaming connection only?
  
  Same question for the setting of "Always" or "Only when high priority traffic detected", because again there is no other traffic on this connection.
  
  Thanks

    Always mode is fine. The percentage isn't as important given your situation. Do you use IPv6, PPPoE or VLAN by any chance?
