Netgear 1100 modem (Docsis 3.1), Tried 2 different routers. Netgear Nighthawk xr1000 (Firmware 1.0.0.52) and Asus GT-AC5300. Both routers show the same results. Windows 10 on two PC (one wired other wireless) and a xbox console. All devices get scaled when playing multiplayer gaming. Any other type of traffic such as media or download files run fine. Ive tried QOS on and off, setting up traffic prioritzation.
