So what could be going on here do you think?
Could it be my ISP, having 2 "setups" on one account, etc.? I am unsure to be honest, that's why I am posting here; thanks for the support so far.
If you're lagging without the router in the mix its either:
1. The game. you're connecting to servers that aren't optimal
2. The isp.
3. the modem. It could be having 2 on the account is causing issues. Or it could be a hardware issue. I'm doubting that if you get the issue on either modem.
Very weird setup, you mentioned sometimes it's good and sometimes it isn't - does that correspond to when your mother is using the other gateway by chance? E.g. if she isn't on the internet that day or is out does it play without lag?
