Hello. I have this modem router for about a month and for about a week now i have issues with about 45-70% packet loss on my games. My router is TD-W8961N from TP LINK.
My router stats are:
DOWNSTREAM | UPSTREAM | |||
SNR MarginSNR Margin | : | 9.5 | 11.5 | db |
Line Attenuation | : | 11.4 | 5.9 | db |
Data Rate | : | 8005 | 1011 | kbps |
Max Rate | : | 8988 | 1020 | kbps |
POWER | : | 21.2 | 8.6 | dbm |
CRC | : | 1 | 0 |
I have seen the packetloss more on Apex Legends game. I dont see any packet loss with my old modem from another isp i had in the past (0% packetloss) but +20ping on my games.
Things i talked and did on router so far by my own and with my isp:
Screenshots of my settings so far:

I cant understand whats the problem. Isp send a technician on my home today and couldnt find why my router's have this amount of packet loss.

That answer is simple if the only change was the hardware.
That router is not rated that highly online and people have been having similar issues.
Get a new router, explain to your ISP to get a different router from them or if they dont have another one just buy one that is better.

For about a month, everything was working perfectly. Why should be now a problem?

@EzyHawkHey, ty for the answer. Both routers running on the same ISP. Both routers have the same "ISP Settings" on the setup, i hard reset the TP Link like 5 times and test it with the "ISP Settings" that they gave me, its been a week that start those massive packet loss. I dont have clue what else i can do about it. Tried to flashdns many times in the past aswell.

I do not know the longevity of this router, it may have over heated at some point causing reduced performance like other people have had.
and why would their be a problem now IF no settings have been changed on the router?

The packet loss stats on the load screen are not reliable ignore them if your fine while playing
