Hi guys, so I have been testing the beta for several days on my R7960P router now and all looks fine… I just noticed that my latency increased from ~20 ms to 60 ms after this update which is not noticeable when browsing the Internet but when playing online games.
Has anyone experienced the same?
I know this is a beta version I am using but are there any tweaks I can perform on the router to get it down?

Other than that I don’t see any issues.
Thanks.

    I compared the 2 firmwares and default settings except Wi-Fi setup.
    Both times I reset the router and setup from scratch.
    I used 1.4.1.68 - latency ~20 ms
    Beta 1.4.4.95 - latency ~60 ms

    Also used this website to determine bufferbloat: https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
