Just got my hands on a flint 2 after using a XR500 with DumaOs on it for the last 3yrs and straight off the bat the Mt6000 is out performing the XR500 when I test bufferbloat over at waveform.
Could anyone link me or advise the best settings for gaming mainly Call of duty?
Thanks
I think out the box is pretty much all you need. Unless someone else knows something I don't?
Also not so populair one:
Lose or bad cables, even when they look fine sometimes they are not.
For that reason I create my own patch cables to have more control over errors, although I can also make errors and so on I learned what things can happen.
A really bad cable where the cores are visible after the shielding cap is no longer isolated and will heavily react on weather conditions, so it can work a few months and suddenly it breaks.
^ this is not the type of cable you get when you have bought ones, however some people could have bought a home where they got told these cables are ok, they aren't.
Where it gets more interesting is when a cable has one core which doesn't fully contact the metal plate on the rj45 connector, I have had a couple of these cables which seemed to have no issue, but what they did was rapidly shift between port negotiations and because it does that it can incredibly slow down the full network over this switch, dhcp keeps re-acking on the router, and basicly a small DoS is created so other devices also slow down, this issue was for me almost going on for a year unnoticed until i replaced the switch for 2.5gbps and took note of the 100 and 10 negotiations, its also important to note that alot of devices just have a 100mbps port.
^ this type of cables can be bought, so it is a good idea to look out for re-appearing dhcp acks in a shorter time than other devices do, and check upon the negotiations.
After my replacements, i went from 500mbps to max of my isp connection, and i went from 15-20ms bufferbloat to 3ms.
