Still having issues - now even in games that I never had problems with before that don’t seem like they should need much network traffic… like Elden Ring, or pulling up leaderboards on Astro Bot. Both having disconnects.

Been using my RS700 with Division 2 gaming and haven't see any issues. Most issues seen were with the gaming services.
These games work if you directly connect the console to the ONT?
Is the RS 700 using detected ISP DNS or are you using custom DNS? Cloudfare or Quad 9?
