TL-ER6120 High Latency Spikes.

I just purchased the ER6120 for the dual wan as well as DMZ feature to attach another router for a gaming subnet and public IP pointing to the DMZ IP. I've gotten everything to work so far, NAT one to one, port forwards for games and PSN, bandwidth control, "aggregated speeds", all of this is working. My issue is the TP-Link is causing my latency to more than double. Removing the ER6120 and just using the gaming router I see an almost flat ping graph hovering at 18-23ms. With the ER6120 in place I see 22 then 54 then 22 then 53 then 32 then 56ms... The graph looks like a zig zag and this makes for a terribly inconsistent gameplay. On my PC behind the gaming router I see the exact same issue. We also have a colocated dedicated server in Dallas and the ping to that device without anyone in game are horrendous. Did I make a mistake in purchase? Everyone said the reviews were great, the SMB side would give me more performance, etc... so far this is unacceptable. I have went through all of the Algorithms one by one and it makes no change. I have removed all security features from attack defense with no joy. If you can offer any advice please help. The gaming router has a specific geofilter that allows me to lock in servers on PS4 and decide where I want to connect is the reasoning behind two routers. I realize some latency fluctuation is normal but over double and back and forth is introducing jitter like results that I shouldn't have.
