Recommendation for a wifi router with L2TP or other VPN server support?
If your current router supports a custom firmware like openWRT then you could do this without having to buy a new one.

openwrt.org not loading
Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet.
- How to get started in networking areas of embedded systems (routers, developing netstacks, etc ...)

Things just got a little weird, my current network is down, I'm a newb trying to start from the ground up and I found out I actually have another (newer) wifi router.... what to do?
On the router. openwrt.org has lots of great documentation that lays out exactly what you're looking for and then some.

Looking for Guidance and Advice
The little ~$150 Celeron mini-PCs with 4 network ports on AliExpress can generally handle routing close to 2.5Gb linespeed - basic routing doesn't take a whole lot of horsepower. Adding in VPN, SQM, and other features like that will take more power though.

Would SQM help with a 1 mb/s download speed?

I'd love to get rid of Xfinity but this ping makes me feel uneasy, anyway to address that?
ISPs can do things to help with stuff like buffer bloat, but most customers are looking for the best speeds which they define in Mbps and it's not always a simple task - TCP was generally made for throughput not responsiveness. Maybe hook up your own router with smart queue management - and be prepared to sacrifice a bit of throughput for it (https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Smart_Queue_Management/)
- SQM? QOS?
-
Server connection issues?
For me they reduced dramatically by addressing bufferbloat. Seems that latency causes eve client to disconnect, so by having proper routing algorithms the latency spikes should disappear even under heavy use. Some routers have these algorithms by default, but you can install them on any compatible router with a custom OS.
- Protocol Priorities implemented and are evident (In Canada?)
- Bufferbloat fix for 4G LTE?
- Unregelmäßige Ping Peaks (Internet, LAN, WLAN)

SQM vs comcast
SQM is a combination of techniques: https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Smart_Queue_Management/ which includes shaping, fair queuing, and aqm, and even to small extent, qos. SQM uses htb, drr++ like FQ, codel, and diffserv to do all it's magic.
