XR700 - Hybrid VPN - Anti-Bufferbloat

Hello

 

I purchased the XR700 gaming router around 1 month ago. Firmware is the latest one.

 

My Anti-Bufferbloat works fine without VPN added to the router settings. I used DSL reports and other websites to check my speed for download and upload.

 

But when i add a VPN on the Hybrid VPN settings on the router my Anti-Bufferbloat doesnt work. The VPN is connected and working fine.

 

I tested changing the sliders to different values for the Anti-Bufferbloat but its not working when VPN is added.

 

It works fine without VPN not with VPN added.

 

Am i missing something?

 

Any help would be great.

 

Cheers

  • What devices are you adding to the VPN? Does it work for other devices that are not VPN'd? The VPN'd device will have slower speeds so this may be why it appears not to be working.

      Hello

       

      I added 2 devices to the VPN.

       

      One is my PC and second is my Xbox One X.

       

      Without VPN added both these devices work with Anti-Bufferbloat showing that its working.

        What are your bandwidth speeds normally/set to and how are you sure it's not working when connected via VPN?
