Xfinity 200 Mbps - rent XB7 or buy my own moden
My theory is that the 'bottleneck link' changed from your DSL network to your home router (incl WiFi LAN) when you moved to Comcast. If that theory is correct then the network buffer you need to manage is on the Asus router. Since you run the Merlin and they have Cake SQM/AQM available, try turning that on. https://github.com/ttgapers/cakeqos-merlin

Tutorial on how to increase your ping artificially the "right" way
From what i can find googling around i can see the RT-AX82U is supported by the AsusWRT Merlin firmware which is an alternative to the original router's firmware. Although the firmware for your particular router is not on the main page i did manage to find a fork of the firmware which specifies your model as supported: https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases . That way you can access it from SSH and use the linux commands to add latency. Keep in mind that it depends on the processor your Router uses, it requires MIPS architecture which most likely your Router has :-)
