Hi all, fairly new user here. I recently acquired flint 2 gl-mt6000 in an attempt to fix bufferbloat issues, however i have not really had much success. The issues persist and I believe im gonna need some help from more experienced users. My current SQM settings are as follows:
My waveform test results:

Any advice or assistant at all is extremely helpful. I am a bit of a newbie so please bear with me. Thank you for your time!
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your current SQM configuration.
To find a suitable SQM setting for your connection, could you please try the following test?
- Disable SQM first and run a speed test to determine your baseline download and upload speeds.
- Enable SQM again and set both Download and Upload speeds to around 95% of the baseline values.
- Run the Bufferbloat test again. If the result is good, you can gradually increase the limits. If the Bufferbloat result is still not satisfactory, reduce the limits instead. For example, try 93%
- Once you are close to a good result, reduce the adjustment step, for example from 2% to 1%, or adjust only a few Mbps each time, until you find a good balance between throughput and latency.
If possible, you can also repeat the test at different times of the day, as the actual available bandwidth may vary between peak and off-peak hours.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Hello, thank you for your advice. I am unfortunately still having rather puzzling issues. Adjusting the SQM to your settings did improve the connection somewhat, however massive ping spikes are still occurring in pretty much any game or videocall i participate in. I tested all the way down to 70%, with no real luck or noticeable change in the issue across all of them. Here are some of my waveform tests: (as i am a new user i will post them in succession)
