Hi,
I have a Flint 2 router (Virgin media hub in modem mode connected to the Flint 2 router).
My internet is around 1000 download 100 up speed but I get sometimes get lag when playing online (I have 4 xbox's shared with my brother). All 4 xbox's have a static ip address assigned to them (infinite lease time) 2 are wired and 2 are on wifi but i rarely play all 4 at the same time anyway and usually use the 2 wired devices only.
This is a speed test with no sqm changes made (so default everything - network acceleration is turned on - hardware acceleration in the admin panel settings):
Bufferbloat test (default):
I messed about with the SQM settings and found that in order to get an A+ bufferbloat grade and actually experience no lag when playing Xbox, I have to cap my upload and download speeds significantly as you can see below:
Capped to 40mb down and 7 mb up. Anything more than this does not show an A+ grade and I do get the occasional unstable connection message when playing games like fc26.
Here are my settings for this below. I would really appreciate some assistance as I feel i'm doing something wrong as surely I should not have to cap my bandwidth that much? It also causes an issue for everyone else in my house as this bandwidth cap is to the wan, so all my devices so even when my Dad is watching a youtube vid/s (with these settings applied) whilst me and my brother are playing can cause the video to lag (gaming is fine). All I really need is for the bandwidth to be capped for the 4 xbox's only (not all the devices in my house like mobile phones, firestick, etc)
Packet steering is off (don't know if turning it on helps)
Any ideas as I really think my settings are wrong.
Much appreciated.
