I recently bought an ASUS RT-AX53U WiFi 6 router. Works just fine and it's giving me the full bandwidth to/from my provider.

I haven't bothered looking for a replacement OS.

If it ain't broke... Smile

Can you try running this test https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat and checking out how much CPU load does it generate during the test? I assume it should give you quite good grade out of box?

Core 1 & 2: Fluctuating between ~1-38%
Core 3 & 4: 0-3%

I get a B grade due to bufferbloat on low latency gaming.

I supposed some of it depends on the route from my PC to the test server.

I disabled Interrupt Moderation on my NIC and got a slightly better result but there are more tweaks I can do if I want better low latency traffic. I don't play games online so I don't really care as long as I can download/upload at max speed. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

If you want to reduce that latency try turning QoS on in your router. I wouldn't mess with NIC's settings since they won't do much compared to QoS. Try Adaptive QoS or Bandwidth Limiter https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1010935/ Latency is not only for games but rather connections in general. QoS will prioritize connections depending on what needs to be delivered faster over something else. Voice/video traffic over file transfer etc. Ryzen 7 9800X3D PBO ~-28/+200 \| Freezer III 360 A-RGB \| Strix X670E-F WiFi \| Zotac RTX 4090 AMP Extreme AIRO \| Fury Beast 64GB (2x 32GB) DDR5 5600MHz C40 @ 6000MHz C30 \| 970 EVO Plus 2 TB \| 38GN950-B \| S.M.S.L RAW-MDA1 & HiFiMAN Arya Organic \| Lancool III Snow White + 4x be quiet!

Cool. I enabled QoS and I've got an A. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! "Thank you to God for making me an Atheist" - Ricky Gervais
