R8000P Nighthawk Router is causing delay internet, but works great when connected direct to modem
I have my PC connect to my Nighthawk router with a LAN cable and my router is connected to my cable modem. When I access any website there is about a second or so delay before it goes to the website. If I'm in say my online banking and want to redirect to billpay it usually won't do it at all. I use Quickbooks for work and if I try to do an online backup it always fails.
HOWEVER - if I unplug my pc from the Nighthawk and plug directly into the cable modem.....it always works. What am I doing wrong? Also, it didn't always use to do this.

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Is Armor, Circle, or Traffic Meter enabled or has those ever been enabled?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update? Be sure to restart your network in this sequence: Turn off and unplug modem. Turn off router and computers. Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect. Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect. Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I appreciate all of the help but still not having much success. Is there a non wireless router (wired router) or possibly a switch that might be better? At one time this R8000P did not give me any issues but I live in a very small town and not many computer savvy people around here to help.
