What will be the best settings for a fiber connection.Also when I do a test on dslreports, I got C grade on bufferbloat and upload speed is always 940+ even I have qos set to “Always” and upload to 25%My speed:940up and down

So when I install the fiber first time the game was so smooth and the bullets register instantly, but now it’s not the same, feels weird. I will comeback with a photo of QoS later, because now I’m working

Unfortunately I was working all these days, and I was not in the mood to try these things, tomorrow morning I’m free and I will try to use the modem in bridge mode and connect the xr500 router

I connected the modem with router and now the QoS working. Thank you!

Bufferbloat only occurs when the connection is saturated and at your speeds that is quite hard to do. I would recommend you try different percentages and find what feels best to you when gaming - every connection is different so it's hard to give a definitive value but we usually recommend 70% as a starting point

But feels like for upload even if I put Qos at 25% and always, I still get full speed

    What is the modem model the XR is connected to? Are you using PPPoE, VLAN or IPv6 on the XR?
