What gateway?
Why are you speedtesting during game play?
What device are you speedtesting on? PC? Xbox?
What speeds do you pay for?
What speeds do you get hardwired into the router?
How if your console attached to the router? wired? wireless?

I'm not trying to be an a-hole but did you read these?
I asked what gateway you're using. that'd be a modem, fibre box, whatever the routers connected to. Not the ip address.
Then I asked why you're speedtesting during game play. You're not going to get max speeds because you're using it.
so you're testing on a pc. hopefull not the same pc you're gaming on. that'd be even more pointless as it takes processing power to game.
I then asked what speeds you got hardiwred into the router and you typed hardwired. you did answer this on a prior question that wasn't even about what speeds you go.

I'm not trying to be an ahole either. But I did state in my original post that When I launch COD Cold War and also my speeds are listed. I am not actually testing while playing. I was having lag issues while playing that is why I began this adventure. The speed should not go down that much just by launching the game and being at the start screen. I have tested 3 computers bypassing the router and get in the 900's. I ran a test on a different computer while game is launched on mine and it is still 900. Mine is 520 while game is launched. As far as the gateway, I have no idea, there is a box outside which runs to a wall jack that I hook a cat 6 to.
