Can I lower the ping spikes?

Yeah I've had about enough of this useless router. Packed it up and put it away. Went and bought a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND flashed gargoyle, put in some QoS rules and now everything is working perfect.

Don't know how else to say it. Either the 4300s suck or mine is faulty.

What router was it?

TL-WDR4300.

Its a weird one, had a mind of its own. Worked when it wanted to, other times it would be lagging itself for no reason. Playing games all is good, nek minnit the router would shoot pings up to 500ms (even with no traffic load) and get me kicked from the server. Then it would just go up and down from 50ms to 500ms.

After more reading I think that the router suffers from "bufferbloat". That would explain the random lag. Don't know how I would fix it Though.
