"Can you take the XT8 out of the equation by repeating the same tests with the laptop plugged directly into the Mikrotik?" The Mikrotik is worse with 100mbps and better with 1gpbs. I now think this is a distraction anyway, the ping only gets really high using my ISP speedtest, regular downloads...

Thanks for the experimentation. I also noticed odd behaviour when running a broadband speed test one one machine while running ping from another. Laptop ->100Mbps->} XT8 ->1Gbps-> Mikrotik ->1Gbps-> ONT Server ->1Gbps----->} The laptop was limited to 100mbps due to the cable and ran the speed...

Sorry for the confusion! I have the obvious packet inspection features disabled, and have tried fiddling with what's left. There's no option to disable the real-time traffic monitor, but the following are disabled: - AiProtection - Parental Controls - QoS - AiCloud - USB Application/* I also...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'd expect WiFi to introduce some jitter but unfortunately this problem occurs using ethernet.

Thanks for the reply. I did not factory reset since coming from the latest stock firmware that didn't seem to be strictly necessary* going from stock to RMerlin and it's a faff to reconfigure from scratch. To be clear, it was doing this with the stock firmware, I speculatively installed RMerlin...

While investigating a packet loss issues (now resolved) it came to my attention that my XT8 quite frequently adds up to about 20ms to ping of the ISP gateway (using ethernet). This does not occur with another router, a Mikrotik Hap AC2. Originally I noticed this with the stock firmware, but I've...
