XR1000 ping spikes, poor connection and bufferbloat
I bought an XR1000 and I got a modem from my ISP rather than a router as it should logically be better.(?) My house has Fiber-Optic wired to the house but the modem is connected with a coax cable an...
You can ignore the DoS attacks, they're just normal connections, the router is a little premature in labelling them an attack. Have you tested whether you get your ping spikes with the PC direct to the modem? That's the first thing to check, if you do you'll need to consult the ISP about that.
I'm not able to connect to my modem directly with the PC, but I do recall the same issues occuring with my old routers, but I'm running in circles with my ISP trying to figure this out since it seems like they don't care about my connection and getting a new provider looks rather slim.
Does it at all sound correct that I have just slapped my ethernet cable from the router into the modem and called the setup done or is there more to set up? I'm fairly hellbent on getting a technician out here to look at my cables though, we might've identified a damaged cable last time, but it's very vague so far.
I was hoping I could at least have an optimal router set-up to confirm an issue in some way.
