This is a really good deal if you're into spending no more than $25 for a router and don

I had exactly the same issue. Fixed it by adding another router with SQM, which eats some speed to fix the spikes. I have had consistent ~65ms ping to CS2, stable ping in warframe, and others too.

If you are considering pairing a modem or gateway that features a 2.5Gbps WAN port with the Linksys E8450, keep your expectations in check. Upon checking the official specs, the Linksys E8450 WAN port only supports 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation.This means even if your modem outputs 2.5Gbps, the E

You can use both wired and wireless backhaul with Batman-adv, and one of the wired routers on your switch should handle DHCP and act as the WiFi mesh server.

Linksys E8450 (just barely good enough, I would certify it only up to 450 Mbps for PPPoE + SQM) Cudy TR-3000 (compact but powerful) GL.iNET GL-MT6000 (overkill)

Belkin rt3200 or Linksys e9.... Can't recall the number but they are identical and awesome. Pick them up for $30-70 depending on eBay and Walmart.
