What settings? not enough information. What type of connection, what speed, and what do you want?
I often do not clearly state my thoughts. google translate is far from perfect. And in addition to the translator, I myself am mistaken. Do not take me seriously.

business package with packet priority handling in the network and with nrt-VBR
(because packet priority handling is not available for regular customers)
- disabled DLM on your profile that is assigned to your customer account (DSL, ADSL, VDSL connections)
(because DLM interferes with UDP packets that FPS games are using)
- if DLM can't be disabled, at least ability to choose interleaving depth (DSL, ADSL, VDSL connections)
(call your ISP and tell them to set the lowest possible interleaving depth on your profile)

- just get an Ubiquiti ER4 and activate smartqueue (fq codel)
- you can also find specific configuration to give your gaming traffic priority.

Merlin has implemented Cake into GUI of his custom firmware. I highly recommend using Merlin.
