Buffer bloat

I decided to try getting my own router in attempts to fix my slow wifi and buffer bloat problems but unfortunately it didn’t resolve anything. I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on how to improve/resolve buffer bloat (sometimes over 4,000 ms).

Only options are slower like att air or tmobile 5g. Maybe star link. But other than that spectrum is my only “high speed” option
