Hello @Kzone ,
Welcome to our community.
It is recommended to start a new thread for your case.
Let me know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
ISP modem—GE400)))((( client devices
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )
What is the firmware and hardware version of your GE400? Have you noticed when the bufferbloat grade started to decrease? And have you changed any settings for your GE400?
Please attach your Bufferbloat grade results after enabling and disabling QoS.
Please set the QoS bandwidth to about 85% of your provider plan.

I guess this might be because the support for wtfast on PC and gaming console like PS5 is different? The UU booster I used is the same. By the way, I guess wtfast is similar to a dedicated VPN. I reckon that functions like DMZ won't take effect simultaneously.
