new router problems with ping while another is downloading

jakobbt

So me and my brother is living together in Denmark, we just bought a new router, our internet connection is 100/100 mb. the problem is when my brother is downloading im getting 100 ping in all games, the previous router we had didnt seem to have this issue, and im actually at a loss to what is going wrong here.

See if your Ethernet controller and/or router have packet prioritization, sometimes called Quality of Service or QoS.

If it is what I think it is, it's know as "bufferbloat" where your router doesn't know what your max speed limit is and keeps on pushing more so the only speed limiter would be something outside like your Isp.

I removed the issue for myself by limiting my download and upload speed in my router settings via QoS (quality of service) setting to 90% ish of my max speed. Sacrificed a little speed to get constant low response times.
