3. I have wooden walls

4.I have tested the latency at each point of my house. The latency when it does spike affects the whole house, so the different location testing didn't really help.

    2. have you tried a different dns provider? (make sure if you do to enter one for ipv4 and ipv6)

      1. ipv6 is enabled.

      2. Can you elaborate on the switching dns?
