At this current moment, I do not have a netduma with the bandwidth cap. I've been eye balling this router forever, but I found out the wifi was a little iffy. I used my netgears bandwidth cap, and tested it at 90%, 70%, 50% and 10% and it did not make a difference during testing. I'll probably buy a netduma now , because this forum has been so helpful. One of the first tests I did with pp, I had a dslreport speed test running and the latency shot up up on the pp program. If I were to ask my ISP for the "second set of channels", is there a more technically specific term I should use to acquire them?

http://imgur.com/a/87Z5u Sorry for the delay, I couldn't access the modem with the new router, I had to switch it back to the old router from the isp. The old router is a D-Link 868L. Originally I thought this router was causing my issues online, but interns of gaming quality I notice no difference, pretty mediocre in general. The dslreport is pretty much the same result with that router, so I doubt the Nighthawk was causing the issues. Although the latency on the upload is alittle better. I can do a pingplotter test with this router too, if you like. http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/10841906

I used exactly 2.5ms intervals

Modem is Arris TM882G.

As of right now, set up is as followed: wall-modem-router-PC. 2 PC's, 2 Xbones are hardwired. Various devices on the wireless. The current router is the Nighthawk r7800, I disabled the Dynamic Qos, and set the bandwidth at full. I've tried it with bandwidth capped @ 90%, 70%, 50%, and 10%, and QoS off and on, the result is largely the same. Router is currently configured in Router Mode. After doing a test with just the modem-PC and still getting high latency on idle, I'm not so sure if it has anything to do with the network itself. I'm convinced its either the modem( maybe its firewalled?), or as someone said the wiring is faulty somehow, or something entirely different.

isp: Optimum Online. I don't know how old the line is. Thanks guys for helping out btw, learning alot.

This is a pingplot after a direct wire PC-Modem https://share.pingplotter.com/9ajBgYhXtFd This is a dslreport test after the pingplot. http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/10733326 I'm fairly certain I'm not using a keystone jack, everything is a direct wire or for wireless.

https://share.pingplotter.com/iu5zpCnkz67 This was idle, nothing was running

Direct wire: Pc-router-modem I will disable the qos, and run the program when there's no activity on the network. Might take a while because there's people on the network. Should I try it without the router, and directly connect the pc to the modem?

First thing I notice, theres alot of packet loss on the first hop, pretty sure thats the router. Also, there's massive ping spikes when I do speed tests. When I run bf1 through my xbox on the same network, theres a jitter of +20ms. Fluctuates between 20 and 40ms constantly. The odd thing is that the BF1 network graph shows 0% packet loss even though the first hop is dropping 15-20% consistently. http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/10714453 I also notice that my reported download bandwidth is not consistent, often it reports less than 10 Mb/s

Ok, I downloaded pingplotter. I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Do I ping something like google.com, or do I ping server like for battlefield? Also, how do I post the plot?

I will test that for sure, but I assume it will be the same ole story. If its an ISP thing, I guess its game over. Thank you

Ok, I made a mistake. I was about to purchase the netduma, but I got the Nighthawk r7800 instead. I figured it had similar features but had better wifi (not too interested in the geo filter). I capped my download and upload in qos, but I still get high bufferbloat on dslreports. I tried 90%, 70%. even 10%, latency was always 1000-2000ms on download, about 100-500ms on upload. Ingame latency, according to BF1 is low, around 18ms to 20ms. But still seeing ridiculous things like getting one shotted by sidearms or guys facing the other way. I hardwired my desktop into my modem, and my upload bandwidth has little latency, but my download is still ridiculously high, like 1500ms. So its either my computer, modem, or ISP. I'm probably going to return the r7800, there's no point in having it. I have doubts the netduma will help, but I was wondering if anyone else has similar issues to this? Even with the netduma. Thanks a bunch
