High Bufferbloat, can't find any solutions, have extremely high ping spikes when playing any game
So just recently ive been getting extremely high ping spikes extremely frequently. This occurs in every game i play and makes it unplayable. I have done speed tests and my upload and download spe...
I have found a solution that will work.
My solution was buying a wall adapter ethernet connection.
I found mine on amazon.
Well, you gave no real info?
First question I'd ask is HOW do you know this AND why do you think this is a router problem?
I ask because BUFFER BLOAT can be caused by the MODEM!!! Especially if it has a PUMA 6 chipset. So to rule out the Router, CHECK this list and see if your modem is on it, https://approvedmodemlist.com/intel-puma-6-modem-list-chipset-defects/. If you are a Spectrum customer, you probably have one of the Arris Tx16xx modems. Good luck getting that exchanged... I had a hard time doing that.
i have done the dslreport.com speed tests

and your Buffer Bloat is what?
What is your LATENCY? BB usually has it over 50.
Did you use THIS tool, http://www.dslreports.com/tools/puma6?
So, I finally got my new modem and the problem still remains, i bought a new wifi chip for my computer and that didnt help. When i check my internet speed at dslreports.com, I get around 100 megabits download, around 1 megabit upload(which has also been happening since this problem arose) and my bufferbloat is in the 200-1000, if it even tests its. Occasionally, it will say latency too high to test. The wifi chip i bought was a Netgear A7000 usb adabter. I have also checked the connection to servers in game and am getting ping spikes and packet loss
I checked my modem on the list of modems not to buya and mine was one of them, thank you for the help. I am buying one soon and will say later if this solution works
