Online gaming with T-Mobile home internet is horrible..

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.

Updating from 22.03 to 24.10 on Linksys E8450. How? Please help

Try downloading the sysupgrade from here: https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.4&target=mediatek%2Fmt7622&id=linksys_e8450-ubi Uncheck Keep settings and retain current configuration. The image check should pass and you should be able to flash without any issues.
