Here's mine using WIFI
I think yours could be better seeing it's a wired test correct? The test MEANS Nothing when other users are using network. It Only gets worse.

Sorry for the confusion. No, i do not have a wireless adapter for my pc, nor any other device strong enough to rightfully test that case. My pc is the only thing wired connecting to the R7000 in the house.

Oct 25, 2016Ok,
To rule out other users you'll need to Push the 2nd from the right WIFI off - on button and test. Still bad, disable QOS, still bad push reset until power LED flashes using defaults test again...still bad try V1.0.3.40 fw.

Here is the DSL test for when the wifi is turned on. And without wifi.

I changed both, tested it on multiple things over the last day and it still appears to still have high ping spikes and packet loss.
