Back in the day (2004 maybe?) I bought a device called the Broadband Booster (I think it was also called BBB). Two Ethernet ports (10/100 I think) and a power port. Really just a bump in your line.
Worked like a charm. I remember that it was specifically designed to get rid of buffer bloat, with traffic prioritization for streaming, VOIP, etc. I honestly think it was config-less though, so it doesn’t make sense unless it was also testing the speed on a regular basis and adjusting itself.
Edit: found it: Hawking Broadband Booster (HBB1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009PLO0Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jEiB...
