CM500 Comcast ASYNC issue

fdHello everyone.
I have this weird issue with my connection. I have Xfinity and my speed is around 120Mbps DLD/5mbps UPLD. I am gaming a lot, mostly fast paced shooters where good connection is essential.


The problem is that when I play games it feels like the game is delayed, my mouse and keys feel sluggish, I feels like everything I see on my screen, including players are not in sync with servers. That leads to an issue that I literally cannot kill anyone, because player is no longer there where I am shooting at. Sometimes I can unload the whole clip right in front of him and only 1 bullet hits him.


I started to investigate. 

 

I connected my PC directly to modem, so there is nothing else in between. I changes my CAT cable to a new one, then I added new modem, nothing changed. I tried different computers on my network. Finally, I took my whole setup (PC) to my friend's house - the issue was gone completely, I brought it back home and here we go again to the same thing.


Today I restarted my modem, opened Command Prompt, and ping google.com every second. Then I went gaming while monitoring my connection in CP and the game felt good, like connection has finally been fixed. After like 10 minutes my game would freeze for 3 seconds but does not disconnect, and at that very moment in CP I see “Request timed out”. After that I am experiencing the same issue I was talking about in the beginning.This is what Command Prompt shows after I stop pinging.

 

 

I tried that many time and everytime after about 700 packets I will get that lag that messes up my connection. I checked my modem logs and this is what I have. Please some one help me with this issue. Thanks.

    Make sure to include the cable connections page as well.

        Your power levels look good. are you rebooting your modem? otherwise the docsdev reset command is the the cmts if thats not from you. 

        And you've tried replacing the modem?
