I saved the CFOS software since it promises lower ping times in games, though it reduced your internet speed below 1MBPS. Now you're having trouble getting a stable connection, any advice?

I attribute the issue more to the limited bandwidth available in the tunnel. It's usually safer to avoid them.

A) With a limited connection, cutting down latency isn't possible without boosting speed first.
B) CFOS, networkgenie and similar tools actually raise latency by introducing an extra node between you and the server.
C) Wireless links are inherently slow and prone to high latency. Think of many fast trains moving through a tunnel—each passenger takes the same route, but many get lost in traffic, wasting time searching for directions.

B) They might be able to reduce latency slightly, but your ISP would need significant routing problems to achieve that, which is unlikely in most situations. C) I don’t think WiFi inherently has high latency. When you rely on it only when wired isn’t available and you’re on a non-shared channel, the impact should be minimal—perhaps just a few milliseconds. Compared to the node your ISP connects to, which can differ by up to 10ms, the difference is much smaller.
