SO I set Gargoyle to stop me spiking for 25ping to 100+ every few seconds but it's not doing anything and ACC is idle. It's detecting traffic correctly to csgo: http://imgur.com/SPFESAJ

Here is my status:

Clearly it's not doing anything to stop my ping from going haywire, how do I solve this?

I'm not good at advanced things so please be thorough. Thanks!

Edit: Even though my connection is only 100/2, when i set my total download bandwidth to something ridiculous like 200,000 kbps which I don't have nothing happens. Why?

SO basically ACC is STUCK on idle when it shouldn't/I don't want it to. I have never seen it anything else.

Hi mate have a look here:

ACC will only activate when it's above 15% usage. Since your download bandwidth is set to around 100000kbps, it should become active at around 15000kbps.

So to see it in action, try to download something that'll push your link load above 15000kbps. Streaming an HD video won't do that. You'll need to download something big (a torrent? Ubuntu or Linux Mint?) just for a minute or two so you can see link load move up. Then ACC should become active. If necessary (if pings get high) ACC will bring your link limit down.

That said, I went thru your post history and noticed that you said your connection degrades heavily after 5pm to around 30000kbps. There's always a possibility that your ISP just has terrible QoS and causes the high pings themselves... in which case, that'd be something no router can solve. Your internet connection is only as good as the weakest link. I have family in Mexico on a wireless ISP that suffers from this... their ping times get so bad during congestion that it makes ACC unusable. A good way to test this is when you notice your connection is slow (times when you're at 30Mbps instead of 100Mbps) connect your modem to your computer and ping multiple locations (Google DNS, OpenDNS, etc). If those ping spikes are present, then that's a problem at the ISP level / with your connection, and not something fixable by your router.
