Hi Striker8881,
1. What is the firmware version of the router? make sure it is on the latest.
2. Try to perform a factory reset on the device and manually reconfigure.
It might be useful if you measure latency.
For instance if you run a repeated ping test on a PC (ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -n xxx), and then repeat that test while watching a youtube on a different device - looking for changes in the latency (both average and variations).
i downloaded a repeated ping test on my iphone and the results were a steady 9ms
then i repeated the test while i was playing and lag was happening and times varied from 9-30ms. But most of the pings just said "time" which i figured was the lag happening.
Can you ping your modem? If so, that would let you see the router's contribution to the lag. Maybe start with a tracert so you know if the ping path goes beyond the modem itself (it might go to an ISP router and then back to the modem).
This might require a setting change on the modem, it possibly is configured to not respond to ping.
Is it a modem, or router / modem combo?
