XR500 fiber
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 ...
Are you able to have the modem handle VLAN or another router to handle it then connect the XR to that and see if it works?
Sorry for responding so late, I will try to use their modem and then connect the router, but it looks like QoS is working for download, I set to 70%, and when I do a speedtest I only get around 700 ( when I have QoS at 100% I get full speed) but for upload is not working, even it’s at 10 and upload share excess unticked I get full speed. Also another problem, it is possbile to one computer, another wired connection, tv or something make my warzone connection laggy?(I’m wired)
OK thanks for the update, please try Fraser's suggestion as you mentioned and see if that helps with the issue you're seeing.
I don't quite understand you last question, it is definitely possible other devices on the network can cause lag in your game, that's what QoS is so good at preventing. Is this something you're currently experiencing or just a general question?
- 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
- The settings look fine there, are you able to have the other router handle VLAN instead and see whether upload then works?
- 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!
- Great to hear that, thanks for the update!
