Occasional delays in performance.
Occasional delays in performance.
Hey, I understand how frustrating this is. You're dealing with persistent latency problems across multiple games, and it seems like the issue might be related to your MikroTik router. Since you've already tried many fixes—like changing ports, reinstalling Windows, resetting the modem, and even getting help from technicians—it’s possible the problem lies deeper or is specific to your setup.
Since you're not a networking expert, here are a few things to consider:
- Double-check all connections, especially the Ethernet cable and power supply.
- Ensure your router is placed centrally and away from interference sources.
- Try connecting via a different network (like mobile hotspot) to rule out local issues.
- If you have another device on the same network, see if it experiences similar latency.
Regarding the MikroTik issue, you might want to:
1. Check the router’s firmware for updates.
2. Use a different Ethernet adapter to isolate whether the problem is with your PC or the router itself.
3. Contact MikroTik support directly—they can provide more targeted diagnostics.
If you’re still stuck, sharing more details about your network configuration could help others assist you better. Stay patient, and keep experimenting—you're not alone in this!
1 - What are your connection rates?
2 - Are the spikes uniform throughout the games, or only during specific moments? Factors like streaming, uploading photos (cell), etc., might affect performance. Port forwarding doesn’t influence latency and can be removed from consideration. The 4011 device is robust enough to handle any input at this stage. Mikrotik provides tools to help you diagnose issues. Access the web interface using the address 192.168.88.1. Follow these steps:
1. Navigate to Tools > Traceroute and input a URL like amazon.com, switching the protocol from ICMP to UDP.
2. Run it for 5-10 minutes and note the average and worst results.
3. Check the interface settings, double-click the port linking the 4011 to your modem, and observe the graph.
Keep a screenshot and repeat several times for an accurate average.
If you share the traceroute data, mask the first two hops for privacy.
