General • RouterOS versions and stability

$

I have a 750G r3 router that I hadn't used for a while because I was using Comcast's all-in-one modem/router. Recently, I switched the Comcast modem to bridge mode and made the 750G r3 my main router. I noticed that Router OS 7 had been available for some time, so I upgraded to the latest version.

However, I found that when I play games, like League of Legends, the ping isn't stable. It usually sits at around 57ms, but sometimes spikes to 90 or more, causing noticeable lag and frame drops. Interestingly, the ping to the router remains stable.

These ping spikes seem to occur when someone else is streaming videos. It's not extreme streaming, but it still affects my game. A few days ago, I downgraded to Router OS 6.49.10, but the issue persisted. Yesterday, I downgraded further to 6.45.8. So far, this version has been working well. Even when I played games while other devices were running a full speed test, the ping increased slightly, but I didn't experience any lag or frame drops.

For all Router OS versions, I used the default configurations and performed a reset after each upgrade or downgrade. I didn't use any sophisticated firewall or queues; everything was default with FastTrack on.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences with some of the latest versions of the OS.
