Hello,

Not sure if this is the right pl= ace, just recently discovered about the bufferbloat issue, so I'm still= learning new things every day.

I bought an Ubiqui= ti EdgeRouter X just for this and for the most part the built-in Smart Queu= e (which uses fq_codel + HTB) works wonderfully but there are some applicat= ions which still give me issues.

In particular I&#= 39;m currently trying to resolve these issues with Steam, which doesn't= seem to be affected much by the Smart Queue. Someone suggested to use Cake= Cobalt, which I'm currently using, but I can't seem to get any bet= ter result.

From my understanding I should at leas= t get fairer per-host bandwidth, but when one PC is downloading with Steam = the other will only receive ~15% of the total bandwidth.=C2=A0

My connection isn't really fast (just 16/0.9 Mbitps AD= SL) and I have only two PCs connected via ethernet to the EdgeRouter X plus= a WiFi access point which is mainly used by smartphones. I haven't don= e any particular change to the ER-X so for the most is kinda stock.

Any advice?
