Excellent guide, and nicely explained. One often overlooked tip is to powercycle your Modem, Router, Network devices in the chain and Gaming Device by unplugging the mains power for 2 minutes every month or two. This can solve a lot of routing issues and clear the caches, making them perform optimally.

Good, call, the classic "turn it on and off"

@Bryan420BS Ай бұрын

if your on PC windows for local cache, command. ipconfig/flushdns

Generally, before changing MTU values id recommend people use PING with some flags to see if the packet is being fragmented, if the packet is not being fragment, it is not much to gain from it. The other thing to consider with MTU is What type of connection you have and any tunnels like gre or vpn and minus the overhead 1500 - 20 =1480 but ping gameserver -f -l 1480 and 1500 is a good start

What model of TP-Link router do you have?

@futurecactus Жыл бұрын

5Ghz isn't necessarily the best if you're at the outer reaches of your router's range, not good for gaming but if you can't improve that, run speed tests on both 5Ghz and 2.4GHz bands to see what gives you the best results.

I wish any of this helped. Randomly went from 35ms to 400 in a day with my newer model TP.. modem is running super fast and only have a few things on the network. Nice tutorial though!

Hi I have a D-link DWR 978 5g router and wounder what Ping Interval is or what it does, it was 60 as defult and when I use 30 it goes smother but below 30 I getting slow response time with higher up and down speed. conected to it with cable cat6 to PC download speed 370,97 Mbit/s and upload 38,59 Mbit/s and response 14,92 ms I get package loss in cs2 some times and I have another router conected with limit of 100Mbit/s up/down on another router thats mainly used for phones and other stuff, no one is conected directly to 5G router. using fiber network was so expensive and was 100/100 up and down cost twice monthly

Down to earth explanation, but what about multiple consoles playing the same games at once? port forwarding does not allow for multiple connections? is that correct? if so how do you set up a router to allow smooth gaming across the network with the same console playing the same games e.g xboxes with MW2 or similar?

@TechManPat Жыл бұрын

You can set up multiple port-forwards to individual devices, you can run multiple devices at home with each having their own port forward

I recently switched from Xbox series X to a gaming PC and on my Xbox being hard wired I can go in the settings and test my NAT type to make it open while playing call of duty warzone but on my PC I’m stuck in a moderate NAT type and being moderate it’s restricting the lobbies the game can put me in and my ping went from 10-20 ping on Xbox to anywhere from 30-56 ping!! I’ve tried everything to open my NAT aside from port forwarding which just seems like a nightmare and I don’t want to screw something up so I’m looking into a gaming router to run from my internet box and then hard wire my PC straight to the gaming router but I don’t wanna spend that much money if it’s not gonna make a difference!!

I get that the closer to the server the better but i dont get why apex says Oregon and Texas servers give me 30 ms, but SLC server gives me 60 when i live in SLC.

Quick question, I have a tp-link router with wifi coming from the arris surfboard sgb10 modem, so would it even be smart to connect the tp-link router to the modem and use a wired connection from the router to my xbox? And what operation mode should my tp-link router be on, AP mode or router mode?

@troy028 7 ай бұрын

Put your surfboard sgb10 modem into bridge mode which turns off wifi and then setup you tp link router. Then run everything from the tp link router. Then you can make changes to you tp link router like port forwarding and such stuff that you want to change.

@troy028 7 ай бұрын

Keep the router in router mode. Not ap mode. If you follow what I said above. That's the best way to have it. I have a surfboard s33 which is just a modem without wifi connected to my tp link archer ax1100. You don't want 2 router connected doing the same thing. That's why I said to put your surfboard into bridge mode.

@troy028 7 ай бұрын

And typically modem wifi combo like the one you have typically suck.

Trust me get better isp that good for gaming its not worth spend money and times fiddling as its not gonna make any substantial different. At least thats what I did. Safe more time and money 😂

@portman8909 10 ай бұрын

Bufferbloat has nothing to do with ISP's. It's a home network problem. SQM ensures that no single person can hog all the bandwidth and get ping spikes in games.
