I believe I have narrowed it down to possible being my router, but still am uncertain. My latest test was when someone is downloading I ran a ping test to my router and was getting 12ms min, 79ms max, 51ms avg. Normally it is 0,0,0.
-I have adjusted MTU sizes on both router and computers.
-I have changed dns settings to a faster one.
-I am paying for a good download speeds, so I don't get why it causes problems.
-Using wired connections for computers.
-Have used 2 different coax cables to my modem (dog chewed one up)\
-QOS is disabled
