I attempted to use Traffic Control, but I'm unsure if it functioned properly. After entering an IP address and seeing the destination IP appear normal, it looks like it might work as intended. This is the expected behavior. Modem model: DIR-612; QoS Rules were applied instead of Traffic Control, yet similar results were achieved. Edited July 31, 2019 by Oalei
If you're not restricting them, consider optimizing your settings to handle higher bandwidth smoothly. This will help reduce lag even with limited internet speeds.
The problem mainly lies with routers having a weak QoS setup. It sometimes functions properly, other times it fails completely.
The issue isn't resolved for some reason. Blocking IP didn't help either. About 10 megabits per second is roughly 1 megabit per second download, but using stable 30 pings with YouTube in 480p or 720p results in 90-120 pings. It seems Wi-Fi will be Ethernet soon because it offers more consistent ping. ATM causes big fluctuations. My connection is g/b/n from my laptop and uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, even though they're close together—I know 5 GHz would work better if placed next to each other.
