Low latency paired with strong connectivity
Low latency paired with strong connectivity
Hey, I see you're experiencing some unusual problems with your online gaming and internet connection. Let me try to summarize what's happening and suggest possible solutions. It sounds like a mix of connectivity issues that might be affecting your performance. Have you checked if your router is properly placed and if other devices are using the network? Also, consider restarting your modem and router to see if that resolves any temporary glitches. If the problem persists, it could be related to interference or hardware issues. Let me know what you find!
Your network connection uses an Ethernet cable directly linking the router to your computer. Do you have any additional adapters in place, and are they reliable cables?
I've relied on the same Ethernet connection for about four years without any problems. It seems the problem isn't with the cable itself—it works fine with other devices and is used mainly for online gaming on my Xbox 360. The real issues are my Wi-Fi speed and latency. Websites load slowly, and my ping in games is extremely high. Discord also feels sluggish, along with a high ping. My internet speeds aren’t the problem, as I mentioned earlier; I initially reported 300+ Mbps download and 40 Mbps upload. When I switched to my home connection temporarily (which isn’t ideal since the router is far from my PC), I got around 12 Mbps download and 16 Mbps upload—still below 20 Mbps for both—and my ping dropped significantly, reaching about 80 ms. The strange part is that webpages loaded normally, but performance suffered. Based on this pattern, it looks like the wireless network is the main culprit. Higher speeds lead to lower latency, while slower connections cause noticeable delays.
You seem to misunderstand. Networking isn't my area of strength. I'm heading to school to study mechanical engineering. I used to enjoy computers back then. If you want, I can share some steps. I also checked it out and thought it was more complicated than I expected. I managed to get it!
Verify, it didn't function as expected. It appears to run more slowly, though this might be unrelated.
Connect to your router through Wi-Fi to determine if the problem lies in your local network (LAN) or a broader connection (WAN). I'm assuming you're using the default gateway IP address. Run this command in PowerShell or Command Prompt: ping 192.168.1.1 -t. Stop it immediately by pressing Ctrl + C after running it for a while. Ensure no other services are consuming internet bandwidth, such as BitTorrent, Steam, Discord, or Windows updates.
It's taking longer since you cleared the entire DNS cache. Don't worry about it.
