Hello everyone,
I currently have a connection of 100download/10upload speed. I am suffering from a D bufferbloat problem. My major problem is upload latency of 500 while my download latency is at 80 and being a gamer i have delay in most online games and zero responsiveness. I was considering buying an asus router so that i have asuswrt merlin to enable SQM which will result to better latency overall. Am i wrong with my plans? I have a family of another 3 people using the network while i am playing which probably also affects me. I am also considering upgrading my connection within 2-3 months to 500down/50upload.
Which would be a device that has serious Cpu power to handle sqm at such speeds and will likely offer support for a while.
Right now i have a Speedport 2 modem router provided by my ISP but i would prefer if the new router can handle everything on its own instead of using the new one to connect to the old one.
From your own experience how much latency has improved with an asus router using merlin compared to your ISP one? Is it worth the trouble and the extra cash?
Thank you for taking the time to reply and help me.
PS. Does using asuswrt void warranty from asus? Or is it considered acceptable?
