XR500 anti bufferbloat not engaging on pc
Hey guys trying to figure out antibufferbloat, so I have less than favourable internet. My upload and download are about the same at 20mbps. I usually run my anti buffer at 15 down and 8 up and have it set to always on. But I just got back from holidays and when I run my speed test on pc it’s is saying I am at full speed where as before it was my cut back speed. All my other devices are reading the proper speeds but it’s like the router isn’t engaging anti bufferbloat on my PC. Everything’s up to date. Tried restarting router a few times and pc. Any suggestions? QOS is turned on and anti buffer to always.

- Can you see the PC in the Device Manager? Have you got the PC added to Traffic Prioritization or is the high priority light active when you're doing a speed test?
- Yes to all of your questions
- That will be why then as Traffic Prioritization supersedes QoS so remove any manual rules you've added to Traffic Prio and it should adhere to the Anti-BB percentages.
