Hey,
The router should allow you to eliminate local congestion and also stop connections to laggy or far away servers. If your internet connection is already fast and low ping, it might not make any improvement.
As your your bandwidth suddenly reducing, that sounds pretty strange. Are you connected over WiFi or Ethernet? Where are you performing the speed test? Have you tried using Pingplotter to see if your connection fluctuates?

Thanks Mate,
Download is up to 100mbps average approx 70-80mbps.
I am connected via ethernet and speedtest is conducted on my service providers platform. Ps4 generally doesnt replicate the same speed.
The dedicated server that is close to me and the only on, averages about 40ms.
Cheers

Hi,
Have you double-check your settings with the anti-buffer bloat? The percentage you select for reserving for gaming traffic will appear as if your internet pipeline is slower.
Example: You have 100mb service but you set the ABB to 40%. 60% of your bandwidth is in reserve for gaming when log jams occur. If you run a speedtest, it will appear that you are getting speeds of only 40mb.
Look to see if the "Always On" button is checked. I would set it to "when high-priority traffic is detected." and see if that improves your speeds.
B- GatecyMay 24, 2019GuideThanks again, current anti buffer set at 70% and I will try selecting 'always' and see if that changes anything.
