Strange Ping

[TrebleTA]

Hi all, so I've noticed something odd, if I use my ISP device, in say a game like world of warcraft my ping would be home 12ms, world 12ms. But if I connect my Ax82u as the main device, my ping in games will increase and is now 13ms home, 15-16ms world.
What could cause this, they should be the same?

I've tried disabling AI protect, disabled DOT, setup port forwarding, I'm connected via LAN cable. Disabled ddos in firewall, IPV6 is disabled.

The ISP device is on its default settings

While you may have disabled some of the features, they may still be (fully or partially) enabled. Just toggling some features on/off changes the state of the router.

If you really want to test. Do a full reset and a minimal and manual configuration.

And, as usual, which router? What firmware? What ISP/device?

And, does 3ms or 4ms more really make a difference in your game?

I dont really notice it, I just thought that they would be the same as the isp (sky SR203) device.
I'm on a asus ax82u offical firmware, lastest offical release.
I will do a soft factory reset tomorrow, and just set up the WAN and see.
P.s
I'm from the UK

Disabled ddos in firewall

Why did you have it enabled in first place? Default setting is disabled.

If you really insist to waste some time - why not? Do it twice for better luck.

For ddos, for gaming thought it was better to enable.

And it's not a waste of time, im thinking something is wrong if it's not the same.

And why soft factory reset twice?
