How to disable QoS
How do I disable the QoS function on this equipment? I cant find the option to disable it. It seems to have been more trouble than its worth. I keep getting random ping spikes and packet loss in 2 dif...

Yeah QoS off is a bad idea, if you follow that guide to optimise Anti-Bufferbloat you should be good. Take a look at this also to try the other QoS settings: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-qos
Ran those from the IPs given for The Elder Scrolls online which is the top result, and I couldn't use the program for that IP. It resulted in all packets lost. For the second picture I tested the central server for Overwatch since there's no east server apparently. I don't get any lag spikes on ESO but in OW they are random. Thoughts on these results? Bufferfloat is at 70% for both when I ran those tests.
Did you try lowering the sliders in Anti-Bufferbloat by about 10% each time until the graph in PingPlotter stabilizes?
I have already neutered my connection by 30%. I'm not really willing go any further than that. QoS has only really served to neuter everything else that was running in my house. I found I didn't fully disable QoS and I am testing that route further. My ping test from last night was more solid than the QoS one after experimenting with 90-80-and finally 70% reduction
- PingPlotter with game servers isn't a good idea as they can fluctuate largely, it's much better to use a big website close to you or something like google which is more stable. Looking at Anti-Bufferbloat as neutering your connection isn't a good approach as Anti-Bufferbloat exists to ensure that all devices on the network can do whatever they like without impacting each other. It may seem counter intuitive that it lowers the speed to do this but it works. You're only really going to need your max speeds if you want a big download to go faster. Are ALL devices in the home connected to the router? Are you using IPv6, PPPoE or VLAN?
