Buffer Bloat issue with eero pro 6

Does anyone facing buffer bloat issue with their eero pro 6 while doing cloud gaming like Geforce now or with any streaming service, it seems i am having packet loss at my end.

Earlier it was working smoothly but few weeks back it started to trouble and till yet no fix is being done 😞

Not sure if it's hardware issue or something wrong with the internet line itself.

Can you game to anywhere else on the internet OK? What about general internet access if this is a PC? How is the device connected to the Pro 6, via WiFi or Ethernet? What happens if you try a tracert to the game server?

I am using a mac so won't be able to run multiplayer games natively on it, hence using streaming service like geforce now. Other things like downloads etc seems to be working fine but it's specific to low latency gaming that is causing a trouble. Device is connected via Wifi on 5 Ghz band. I don't have the details for destination server in geforce which i can take a trace route dump.

Recently i enables SQM in eero pro 6 which might have adjusted things a bit based on recent usage but i still see 99 packet loss in geforce now.

I think a tracert is essential here, as the problem could be anywhere between the device & the game server. Can you ping GeForce as the response from that should give you its current IP address?
