Bad bufferbloat with RAX120
Im getting a D rating of bufferbloat during the Upload with the RAX120. Is this solved with a gaming specific router only?
How I fixed my buffering was I bought something called IQ Router and set it up as instructed. Their customer support has been outstanding. I had a gigabit subscription. I was told by IQ Router support than reducing my internet subscription to around 300-250 mbps with their router would improve performance tremendously. My overall internet grade was a B prior to buying IQ Router. Made the change from Gig to up to 400 mbps package installed IQ router and my score went to A+ and no buffering since. I also have Orbi mesh and Netgear AX6 Router connected to the IQ Router and they are running flawlessly. You can keep your Netgear Router on the network as long as the IQ Router is the first router in the network. You can learn more at evenroute.com. Amazon sells the router. I was really tired of the buffering when using iptv so I was almost willing to try anything but this set up is working great! Hope that helps.
Download bufferbloat should (already) be fixed by your broadband provider. If not, complain to them. Upload bufferbloat can be fixed by using a DOCSIS 3.1 modem.
