I just upgraded from a Portal router (www.portalwifi.com - long dead kickstarter router) to a GT-AX11000 (which I will extend later with mesh nodes).
The loaded ping time is significantly higher than on my Portal. I'm just going straight from the ONT to the router (ethernet) and then from the router to my desktop (ethernet). Enabling/Disabling QoS doesn't seem to impact the numbers. I've got AI Protection disabled, Firewall disabled... pretty much everything I can find disabled. On the latest firmware.
I've tested a good half dozen times going back and forth, the only thing changing being which router is connected to the two ethernet cables. The results remain pretty consistent.
Any ideas here? This seems odd to me that a newer device with much stronger hardware would have such poor ping times when loaded on a measly 200/200 connection. (I'd like to eventually upgrade to gigabit soon.)

(Edit: I'm not sure what was up with the download speed in that last test - it's usually closer to 200, but the download active latency is pretty much always +~60
