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
What is the modem you got? Did the ISP approve it and configure it on their backend?
Can you test with a wired connection?
The modem I recently got was a technicolor dpc3216 that the ISP(Spectrum) gave to me when I asked for my modem to be replaced. They did not configure the modem, im assuming configure means the same thing as install, I installed the modem. I cant get a wired connection due to my desktop being to far away from the modem and router.
