Hello, got the tc7200.u UPC modem/router a few days ago and so far it's been horrible. With the old router i could play wireless and I wasn't getting any lags whatsoever in games but with this router it's impossible to play, sometimes the ping is around 500ms and when the ping is stable at around 30 I'm getting random 5s lagspikes. Do you have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.
 
Most all modem/router combos are not built for performance/features, they are built so that grandma only needs one device to browse facebook and does not even know there is a web gui, let alone any of the performance/features it is lacking.

Try testing your ping/performance using a wired connection to the router so that we can see if the issue is wireless only or if it is the connection as a whole.
