Random Lag spikes/disconnects throughout day

Random Lag spikes/disconnects throughout day

Bought this router a couple of weeks ago and ever since I get random lag spikes that disable my internet/freeze games for a good 20-30 seconds. It's terrible and baffling to me how I paid $300 for a router that performs worse than a stock router from my ISP. I would really like to keep this router if this gets fixed but right now, I have nothing but disappointment with it. 

 

My ISP is Spectrum, using the modem they gave me (maybe that's the problem?)

I have 1gb DL and 30mbps upload

My firmware version on DUMA OS is 

V2.3.2.40

 

PLEASE HELP! 

Model: XR500| Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router

I think I fixed it? I disabled QoS and so far no disconnects, but I've only tested it for 3 games so far.

Re: Random Lag spikes/disconnects throughout day

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?

 

Is the game console connected wired or wireless to the XR router?

That's odd, you shouldn't need to disable QoS to affect drop outs etc.

 

How has it been since? If you re-enable QoS, does it all work ok?

 

It's probably worth following our optimal QoS guide when you do re-enable it: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077073-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-q...
