Upgrading to a new router can potentially improve your Ethernet and Wi-Fi performance.

You mentioned having the wrong units and are now trying to resolve a problem where the connection drops and then gradually recovers. Appreciate the clarification!
During Steam installs, certain titles follow a specific pattern where they initially fetch a large package, then unpack it before saving, and proceed sequentially. This approach can limit performance for smaller files that need more time to prepare. Updates often exhibit similar behavior, sometimes requiring longer patch times or even downloading the game from the ground up.
I'm not sure which one to choose because I've tried all of them. Here are the links you mentioned: Bufferbloat test at Waveform, Speedtest.net, and Fast.com. The tests were done at 7pm; nighttime gives reliable data, but performance drops during peak times. Let me know if you need those results too.
The test results appear solid. Your latency is also satisfactory. No unexpected factors here. Performance usually decreases during busy times when multiple users on the same node utilize the link. I don’t believe there’s an issue with your ISP connection. The observed slowdown could stem from the distance between your device and the servers you’re accessing. Also, if your computer struggles to save data efficiently, it might contribute to the behavior you’re seeing.
