@Weggy

The only remaining tool you have is to enable the optional gaming rule and see if that helps. Without the rule, potentially your game is fighting with other unidentfied traffic for bandwidth, and both are hitting queues.

If your game is showing up in the gaming QOS container. Then you are out of options sans an alternative firmware or a new router with a very recent QOS implementation.

Edit:

Also make sure no device is bypassing the metering done within bandwidth monitor.

Eg.
-No devices present before the router
-Check that devices on guest networks are getting metered
-Check if VPNd devices are getting metered

Basically check that every device on your network is getting its upload/download activity metered.

If the game still struggles you have other network problems I would share that opinion. :eek: Sorry.

I'm confused. I have enabled the gaming rule. Or so I thought.
 
Looks like the gaming rule is working.

Your gonna need a more recent QOS solution if this level of performance is not working for you.

Can you give me some examples of what these are and what hardware might contain them?

I don’t own anything besides my older asus router so I am not in a position to say.

Check if openwrt or tomato enable these features on your current router. As to what routers ship with it, you will have to do your own research. Netduma and ubiquiti most likely have it.

My PC network settings are:
Code: 
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.198
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

While my script now currently reads as follows:

When you posted this on the 1st thread, your gaming rule wasnt enabled, you need to remove the # sign....

The only thing I can see here is the size of the cidr range used for gaming is huge. You may want to define the one machine you are concerned about playing the game, using the /32 range.

Are you saying change all ip references from:
192.168.1.198/24

To:
192.168.1.198/32

I really dont understnad this CIDR stuff.
 
If you only use that ip to game from then yes use a /32 cidr.
 
I've been doing some more reading and does QoS really prioirtise packets? I'm trying to understand if its really ensuring packets from DOTA get processed as quickly as possible or if its just making sure the game has bandwidth.

Right now I'm not seeing any difference in DOTAs pings with QoS being on or off. Netflix is consuming in spikes/irregularly about 1 quart of bandwidth, so nowhere near saturated.

/24 will cover the whole subnet, meaning all devices talking to 80/443 will be classified as gaming...

Try using the default %s from the script without changing them....the current default setup is already overkill for gaming. Try and report if any improvement, also ill have to look at my script again but it seems your using the gaming script (ip address
192.168.1.198/24) multiple times. I think on my script I only have the cidr ip adress no more 3 times, i noticed u have it like 8 times (4 in upload 4 in download). Lastly , u did gave ur gaming console or PC a static ip address that falls under /24 cidr range correct ? Say you have 2 gaming consoles n 1 pc, change the ip address to 192.168.1.198/30, go to your gamin console and assign static ip address to 192.168.1.196, next console wld be 192.168.1.1.197, and PC wld end in .198. If u have a 4th gaming device u can use the last cidr ip range of /30 range and use .199

Make any sense?
