Bufferbloat

I seem to have high broadband bufferbloat on latency. I cannot see any QoS settings on the router and would like to know how to improve this. I have a few smart devices and also notice some lag while online gaming

Thanks @Gemma I was going to do that today, if it hadn't started working.

I posted a picture of where it is in the Vodafone router,  however that post has disappeared, and that is happening a lot to me today I'll try again. with  different saved imagesJayach_0-1691596849562.pngJayach_0-1664142870116.png

Thanks, I have updated the firewall ping to WAN setting. I will update soon with my new BQM

Here is my recent BQM

@Willow123 There should be a log entry for a restart or connection drop. Your pictures are not yet moderated.

Currently I am on the 4G backup, and have no fibre WiFi since last night. I have restarted the router with no fix

Hello, can someone help me understand if my bqm looked okay? Usually when on call of duty for example, I get around 20ms latency, however I regularly see this go up to 30/40/50/60+ ms latency, with occasional lag occurring while playing. Is there any way to improve this? What about the bufferbloat test that I originally posted about. Can someone help me clarify this please?

Looking at your BQMs, while it's slightly high your minimum latency is smooth and steady, indicating no problems with your connection.

It's very quiet though - you can use your broadband normally while the BQM is running.
