Hello guys, I recently bought an archer C3200 to replace my old n600. With my old n600 for some reason had good connection with my computer but it was very slow with phone (0,1 kbps and smart tv so it was impossible to stream something or watching movies or videos), even if tv and phone are closer in term of distance to the router. Probably it was only a problem of priorities but I wasn't able to fix the problem.
As soon as I installed the archer c3200 all the devices started to go at maximum speed of my connection (30 down / 3 up) so I can watch movies and videos from all the devices without buffering or loss of quality and I can download files at the max of my connection speed.
Problem is, all the online games (both on pc or mobile phone) are unplayable. Lag and ping are crazy (500-600 ms) Tried to use again my old n600 and I can play just fine, no lag spikes and no high pings, as soon as I put again the C3200 again lag spikes and high pings. All games are unplayable.

 

How come this happen? And how can I solve this problem? C3200 fimrware (that I already updated) gives little options, there's not even a QOS so I don't know what to do. Anyone can help me? 

 

Now I'm just using the C3200 during the day, and replacing it with my old N600 during the night when I play, but of course this is not a solution. I refuse to think this router is worst than my old one to play, there must be a solution. But if there's not, I will just send it back and buy something else. Thanks if you can help

I doubt that your other devices take up your bandwidth. You can try to connect your PC only and play the game.
