System Diagnosis & Network Environment
I am currently running some stability tests on my ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 and have encountered persistent packet loss when handling large OBB data transfers on mobile. I wanted to see if anyone in the Gaming Network Products section has experienced similar throttling when Game Boost is active.
Device Configuration:
- Router: ROG Rapture GT-AX11000
- Client Device: ROG Phone 5 (running Android 11)
- Connection: 5GHz Band (Channel 161)
- QoS Setting: Adaptive QoS - Gaming Priority
File Transfer Specifications
The issue specifically triggers during the verification phase of the large asset files. The router seems to flag the data packets as P2P rather than Gaming traffic, causing a disconnect.
- Application ID: com.t2ksports.nba2k20and
- Data Type: OBB Service Files / Cloud Sync
- File Size: > 3.0 GB (Total Assets)
- Network Protocol: UDP/TCP Mixed
Observed Network Behaviors
I have isolated the issue to the following scenarios. It looks like the "unlimited money" server-side sync (which involves high-frequency data exchange) is conflicting with the router's Trend Micro protection AI.
- Latency Spikes: Ping jumps from 20ms to 400ms when the game attempts to verify the OBB integrity.
- Bandwidth Throttling: The router caps the download speed significantly unless I disable the IPS (Intrusion Prevention System).
- Connection Drops: Complete Wi-Fi dissociation occurs on the client side during the initial load of the career mode assets.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken
- Reset the firmware on the GT-AX11000 to the latest build.
- Prioritized the device MAC address in the Game Radar dashboard.
- Tested the file source (linked above) on a standard ISP router without issues, confirming it is likely a configuration conflict within the ROG firmware settings.
Has anyone else successfully configured the GameFirst VI settings to whitelist this type of heavy OBB traffic without triggering the packet inspection limiters? I suspect the large file size is triggering a false positive in the network protection layer.
Any advice on optimizing the router settings for this specific heavy load would be appreciated.
