Trouble Shooting QOS
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2016 5:27 am
I've been having issues with gaming lag for the last few weeks which maybe related to me upgrading to 1.9.1 or be unrelated. Just in the early stages of investigating this but thought I would open it up to anyone else having issues with QOS recently. The lag takes the form of I get a very good ping and then it will spike very badly. This effects both the wifi that my son is on and the powerlines which I am on.
So this morning I disabled the upload and download of QOS and did a speed check. This came out at 12mb so lower than I had thought - which was good as I was aware that setting the download too high in the controls would negate the QOS. Ping was good and speed was relatively consistent between 11 and 12. So I set the speed to 10000 and tested again with QOS. Ping was 400+ for seemingly no reason, I was on the non rtt group so I set it to rtt. Ping was then sporadic between low 20 to 400+. I then turned QOS off and again ping was stable at 20.
In terms of QOS how I group it is I have a QOS group for each person in the house and I put all of their devices into each persons group.
Router I have a Archer C7 so not too bad, I do have a Netgear 3700 as well so I will dust that off and put a different version of Gargoyle on so I can start getting closer to whether I have an ISP issue or a router one.
I appreciate I need todo some more testing , but thought it could be useful to have any other feedback people may have
