8. Click the X to close the Options pane.
9. Select how you want to apply Anti-Bufferbloat:
• Apply. Select this radio button if you want to always apply Anti-Bufferbloat. If Anti-Bufferbloat is
always applied, you can play games without any devices or applications causing you to lag but your
total bandwidth speeds is reduced so you must change the setting back to Never when you finish
gaming.
• When High Priority Traffic Detected. Select this radio button if you only want to apply
Anti-Bufferbloat when games are being played (all console games and most computer games are
automatically detected by DumaOS).Your total bandwidth speeds will only be reduced when games
are detected. This radio button is selected by default.
• Never. Select this radio button to disable Anti-Bufferbloat. If Anti-Bufferbload is disabled, your full
bandwidth speeds are received but your games are caught in a queue, causing lag, when all your
bandwidth is being used.
10. In the Anti-Bufferbloat pane, move the buttons on the Download and Upload sliders to the desired
percentage values.
To the right of each slider, the selected value displays are a percentage of the total bandwidth speed
that you specified in Step 6 and as an absolute value in Mb.
For example, if you move the button on the Download slider to 70, devices that consume a lot of
bandwidth are limited to 70 percent of the total bandwidth speed that you specified, and 30 percent of
the total bandwidth remains available for devices that consume less bandwidth.
Disable Anti-Bufferbloat
If you disable the Anti-Bufferbloat feature, bandwidth-intensive devices can consume all available bandwidth,
causing congestion and forcing traffic for other devices to be queued. However, situations might exist in
which you want to disable the Anti-Bufferbloat feature.
To disable the Anti-Bufferbloat feature:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.

right, to 100 percent.
