Hello everybody!
My device is a MT7621 ZBT WG2626 powered by OpenWrt 19.07.3.
My ISP uses PPPoE. Everything works flawlessy, using SQM on a 100/10 connection.
There is just one small "problem": when I ping an external address from a device in my LAN, I see some jitter that is not there if I ping the same host from the router itself.
For example (test was performed when there was no internet activity):
## from the router itself

Does anyone have a clue what causes this? I tried to disable SQM but nothing changes.
I know it's not a big deal (latency is always low), I just find it odd. It seems to me that the problem is linked somewhere to the PPPoE.
FWIW, I had the same problem with my previous router (a GL-Inet AR150M).
Thanks in advance!
