XR500 and DOCSIS 3.1 Latency Variation Issues
Hello I am having terrible latency variation and ping spikes on my XR500 when playing Battlefield V, COD, and pretty much any game. Problem: Ping spikes in game from 58-90 ms every 10-15 seconds ...
I have tried swapping cables howver I ended up fixing the issue.
I previously stated I had disabled QOS on the XR500 by turning off the buffer bloat setting.
I missed the setting on the left window where you completely disabled the QOS, which ended up fixing my issue.
My speculation was right DUMAOS' , Merlin, and ASUS routers QOS rules conflict with DOCSIS 3.1 modems' built in AQM and cause the instability in the connection. Mostly ping variation.
Hopefully in the near future there will be a solution to this issue as the DUMA OS QOS was the reason for purchase.
All these test were done from a factory reset xr500.

I'm glad you got it fixed, at least temporarily. Thanks for the feedback, it's useful to know there's an incompatibility there. I'll make sure the devs are aware.
