Hi cougarel,

I have been having the same issue (disconnects during peak hours, timed out requests when pinging the data center) for a couple of days now and my ISP is also RDS.

Just to be clear, you did everything from 1-4, then reverted back and then tried the same 1-4 but with a restart? When did you restart? At the end of it, so after restarting your router?

I can try the same changes and see if they hopefully make a difference.
