New router causes more ping...

I bought a new router (TP Link TD 8961ND) because my old one isn't letting the wireless devices connecting to it. I set it up, it has access to the internet from all the devices (wired and wireless) which is a good thing. But, when I play csgo, I noticed my ping went over 100ms and I keep teleporting here and there. I thought it was the game's problem. But when I switched back to my old router. Everything was fine... Ping was <50. No random teleporting, I don't understand...

I've tried everything, I double checked the settings, factory reset it twice, turned off the wifi. Nothing works.... I hope there's a solution to this, I got my router cheap and it doesn't come with a warrenty... Btw my router is also on the latest firmware

For more information.
I used the same cables I used to connect the new and old router.
Settings on both the old and new router was exactly the same.
My old router's brand is called Riger (Idk what brand is this)
My ISP doesn't care if you used a new router or not. Cause my cousin has the same router and internet package as mine, and his one works the same

Edit:
I saw many upstream CRC errors. Don't know what that means, but it only happens in the new one so... that might be a sign

I hear you, and I'm suggesting setting your QoS to favor your gaming ports.

Consumer grade routers are firmware set to favor streaming protocols w/o owner interaction.
Whether your amenable to setting QoS for effect, it can eliminate the variance you're experiencing between the less robust generic Riger.

Your choice of TPLink was a top drawer, but their well earned reputation for reliability is built on handholding the uninitiated with assumptions including signal quenching battery saving...

This wreaks of a QoS issue that contemporary routers arrive default to favor video streaming and VoIP, neither of which are the same as your online games heavy TCP connection.

Since you described trying it with WiFi off (assuming your poor performance remained while connected with an Ethernet cable) it might be useless to compare your TPLink's signal with Nirsoft's WirelessNetView
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_view.html
Which will assess your WiFi max speed and the neighboring AP's on the same channel and their real time interference ( an AP with high signal strength on the same channel is a potential issue, but low signal implying further distance is less of your concern ).

All of Nir's ware is single file executable, adware free based on the necessity to help the world fix frequent Windows issues, see http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/index.html for a solutionbox of free stuff to help you guard your weekends from being destroyed by Windows problems.

Yes I am connecting my pc through an ethernet cable and in my old and new router settings, QoS is disabled. So I don't think qos has anything to do with it.
And i don't really care about the wifi speeds? I don't game on my phone anyways

But you already knew that, since you've already collected Wireshark dumps of both devices to eliminate any insidious broadcast protocols ?

Plus, you've already conducted comparative unbiased analysis measuring both routers ability to download an Akamai hosted package such as Windows 7 service pack while notating any differences between routers to determine if your TPLink just hates your hosted game servers, since after all, you've tried everything beyond just rebooting your firmware. Since Akamai is the fastest, widest network of servers that is better performance measurement than using the closet Speednet servers that ISP use to dismiss end user complaints.

You got it under control Ace, keep on truckun'.
