New router causing high latency?

So I was recently using the BT Homehub 2.0 for my internets, but since the line regularly dropped and needed a router restart, and Bt refused to provide us with a free router, we picked up a new one.

So we got the Netgear N600. Since then, the connection dropping issue has gone, however I REGULARLY end up at about 400ms when gaming now, and it seems to just go up and down fairly commonly.

Is this a problem with the Router, and can it be fixed? Thanks in advance <3

MTU problem?

I had to google what MTU is. I don't know how to find out if that's the problem or how to fix it because I'm terrible at network things :( Is there an easy way (don't want to put anyone out writing an essay) or a link to how I can check whether that's it and how to fix it if so?

What service do you have?

ADSL, ADSL MAX or ADSL2+

Also if you can post screen shot of your ADSL connection from the status screen of the N600 may give viewers a better idea of any potential problem.

Cheers
