Hi everyone!
I recently successfully traced some network issues I was having in Counter Strike back to my QBittorrent client having too many open connections. Global maximum was set to around 500, with a 100 max per torrent. This caused major jitter and packetloss in-game.
My current router is an Asus N18U which has Asus-Merlin on it.
The issues kept coming back even with a smaller number of open connections to the point I had to shut down the client.
I can’t remeber having these kinds of issue on Windows (current system CachyOS wit latest kernel), but I can ne wrong.
For what kind of specs should I be looking in a router for this kind of task? Would a MikroTik hEX refresh (upgraded RAM and CPU) be enough or overkill?
Thanks!

    I alteady did that and the site measured an increase somewhere between 20ms and 50ms, but in-game it would frequently go up to +100ms. I have almost no onowlegde in the domain of networking, so going for a hardware solution is easier in my case.
