RS700 Horrible Bufferbloat...

They offer much more customized tuning than any of the consumer equipment. Then just connect a router to it in access point mode to use the router for wireless.
I have the Spectrum 1 gig modem/plan (its brand new), if I plug straight into modem... I have 0 bufferbloat. I also have packet loss if I am plugged into the modem, and I am hardwired. QOS on the RS700 is absolutely worthless, that gives me a insta F rating on bufferbloat test. I am gaming on a 4090, 149000kf, 64 gig ram, pc. I have run several tracert and pathping.. this router sucks, I have tried plugging into 1,2,3,4,LAN.. flow control off, flow control on, tried the 10gbps... this router is awful. Im ready to pitch it in the trash and pickup a ->
