Changed the MAC address to match the Google provided gateway
Changed DNS to the best one for me (1.1.1.1 primary, 8.8.8.8 secondary)
Disabled upstream DNS
Manually keyed in MTU to 1500
Left IPv6*ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.)
LAN settings:
Left IPv6 *ENABLED* (IPv6 is a toss up on if it's better or worse to have on or off. For my fiber connection, it's proved to be better in the long term.)
