Hi, I enabled IoT blocking for 14 devices, and I realised that my network started to experience latency spikes. Pinging my router at 192.168.1.1 would yield random 100 ms spikes, and pinging google gets the same result. Playing games also has increased latency until I disable the IoT blocking, then everything goes back to normal. Is something wrong with my setup?
 
What router? What firmware? How are you blocking IoT devices?
 
My bad for not including the info. I am using RT-AC86U with merlin 386.3_2. I block the IoT devices through skynet's own IoT blocking option, hidden in settings
 
What other options, features, and scripts are running on the router? Or other customizations past defaults?
