It may just be due to inconsistencies with the game/routing. The router ensures that you have the best possible connection for your situation, occassionally you'll get some bad games but you can then adjust the settings on the router or put them down to the game itself. I would recommend using the Geo-Filter to force different servers around you as some may play better. Also are you using QoS at all? We recommend a starting point of 70% for both download and upload on Anti-Bufferbloat and to utilise Traffic Prioritization.

Well in that case you might not need QoS.
