    Just finished troubleshooting and experimenting with everything I could. The thing that was causing it was actually the power extenders! When changing the router plug into an actual outlet in the wall the wifi was great. It was lightning fast. At least I know now.

    What are the ping results if you connect a wired PC to the ISP modem/ONT and use the free trial ping plotter program from pingplotter.com with out the RBR?

      When connecting to the modem everything is fine. No ping spikes or anything and I have also contacted my internet provider to see if anything was wrong on their end. Nothing. V3.2.16.6_1.4.4 is the firmware
