I am having trouble with inconsistent ping aka bufferbloat as there are many devices connected to the network at all times.
I've been looking into QoS and figured I could probably use my Netgear S8000 networking switch to manage packets while gaming. As the only wired device to the network is my pc, its connected to the "gaming" port on the switch. All other devices are connected wirelessly to my netgear router thats connected to the "other" port on the switch. Further the switch is connected to the ISP router. With this setup the bufferbloat persists as if I directly connected my pc to the ISP router. I was thinking maybe I could put the ISP router into bridge mode but with no luck as apparently it requires some functionality only a router has.
What would be the best setup for optimal bufferbloat in this cenario? Also, Is the ISP Router messing up my packets after they are sorted in the switch, or do I put it in bridge mode? If so, how do I let the switch assign ip's?
Im sorry if this was a scriblly mess, but Im not really understanding my own situation, hence me asking for help. Thanks in advance!
