Netcode & Bufferbloat

"No-reg" (shots not registering) is a common complaint. While servers can be at fault, your router's queue management is often the true villain.

What is Bufferbloat?

When a high-bandwidth task (like a download) happens on your network, your router fills its buffer, causing massive latency spikes for time-sensitive traffic like gaming. This is "Bufferbloat." You need a router with SQM (Smart Queue Management) to prioritize gaming packets.
