Re: New PC build
For the RAM: I like G.Skill, but I always prefer the 1.20-1.25v modules rather than 1.35v. The lower voltage variants don't run as hot, and I think are better quality chips. They're usually very similarly priced. CPU: You're getting about 22k CPUMark score, it's a good processor for a budget build, ...

Then you may have to change the settings in your app, and maybe enable remote/WAN access to the router. You can test if it works by disabling Wi-Fi on your phone, and see if it can connect using your cell service.

Maybe your router, or another device/node near you is limiting the total amount of memory allocated for you, split between your buffers.

Re: Bufferbloat doesn't want to give me an A + :-(
That's the only way to control the TCP Window "buffer" under Windows 10/11. I wouldn't worry about it much. Reducing the TCP Window would only reduce throughput if the node is overloaded and you are transferring large amounts of data at the same time. In an unlikely situation like that, it...

Re: Bufferbloat doesn't want to give me an A + :-(
As I said before, if you want to reduce your buffers, you can change "TCP Window Auto tuning" to restricted. I wouldn't recommend it though, as it limits your throughput, and doesn't usually help latency.

Welcome Maks :) I don't worry about that bufferbloat score much, it is not necessarily a problem. It would only reduce your speeds in the presence of packet loss. The "buffer" it refers to is the TCP Window, which is automatically controlled in Windows 10/11. Having large TCP Window allows...

You should not see any speed difference if you downgrade. If you're only getting 5-8 mbps on your wireless, you can ugprade your Wi-Fi router, or try to compare what the speed is over a wired ethernet connection. The difference between megabits per second and Megabytes per second is close to 10:1......

Re: TCP Optimizer question
Hello, It depends on the Operating system. In Windows 10/11, it only changes the optimal TCP Window Auto-Tuning algorithm for slow connections, i.e. dial-up, and up to ~1 Mbps. In older versions of Windows, it progressively changes the amount of allocated memory for the TCP Window. I hope this helps.
