There is so much latency , please someone help me.
Some of the solutions I tried are:
1. Tried the modem at multiple locations.
2. Tried using it on gigabit 1gbps plan ,currently on 600mbps/25mbps upload
3. Always using wired Ethernet for gaming
4. Resetting the modem/router and making sure only 1 device is connected to it (pc)
5. Resetting the modem/router and installing old firmware.
6. Latency is also visible in Wi-Fi while playing games on my consoles and has similar effects which is on my pc, (where the latency gets worse over each 5 seconds, by 2 minutes my screen is 3-4 seconds behind enemy replay and I feel clear system latency. My pc specs are alright too I have rtx 2080 super and 4gz OC cpu. My problems are not only on wired but also in Wi-Fi games on consoles.
7. Why does the most expensive router like this not have QOS settings?
8. There was a similar post someone made where he had latency which jumps instantly and made online gaming unplayable for them. I could not find it.
9. I thought initially my old place had issues with wiring and I moved to a new location and made xfinity technician visit and ensure all wires and signal levels are good.
10. I tried from cat7 cables and 7 different cables to see if it helps.
Please has someone figured this out.
