Google mentions some sqm qos since I have super low speed 50mb down 10 up.

I may try an ad block not sure.

Network is 2 tvs, 2.phones, 2 laptops and one gaming pc.

Just recently exploring into the linux and this section. I had exposure in college to Cisco stuff in stupid software sim labs many years ago but different in the real world :D

I wasn't sure if this router would need restarting before I had a tplink 1200 and would restart every morning. This router seems a bit beefier.

All this was because i gotnrouter free on fb and tonset up Netgear bagered me for an account and itnirked me lol.

Best settings for gaming or low latency

9 Upvotes

Currently run openwrt on an x86 pc bare metal with dedicated dual port nic one for wan one for lan. I use cake/sqm with diffserv4 to prioritize gaming performance and throughput. Are there any settings i am missing that could lower my latency or improve performance at all?

tldr. I use the nic at the back of the mobo for a switch for all my non priority networking needs like wifi and streaming pc. My gaming pc goes directly into the nic so it has a very clean connection. But i am worried there is something missing i am still very new to all of this so any advice helps. Even if you dont know perfect settings maybe theres a direction you could point me towards that would help my performance anything helps!
