Howdy!
So, my ISP sent me a Sagemcom 3890v3 modem (4 ports router+wireless) which supposedly is Docsis 3.1 ready. Wether or not they are actually on 3.1 im not sure (apparently they were still upgrading some parts of their infrastructure)...
I also indulge in some online FPS shooters where latency has been an issue in the past (currently Destiny 2). Speeds arent a concern but latency and stability is a priority, so I'm hoping the modem can iron out some of the previous issues ive been having. I've even read some interesting stuff about "Low latency Docsis" from CableLabs which i'll hopefully benefit from sooner or later. Or, much later.
Anyways: Previously, i used to bridge my modem and let the RT-AC68U (merlin FW) handle as much as possible. With this new 3890v3 however im not sure if thats the smartest move?
Will i risk losing any benefits from the new modem, like docsis 3.1 perks, if i bridge it and let my Asus run things?
Any advice, suggestions, or pros/cons comparisons would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Daniel
