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!

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

    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?
