Process of securing objects with rubber bands.
Process of securing objects with rubber bands.
I purchased a range extender from Amazon with an Ethernet port, thinking it would improve my gaming experience. It has worked well in all games except CS, where the rubber banding is noticeable. It’s not always present but bothers me a lot. Is there a solution to fix this or will I need to switch to wireless whenever I want to play CS? Thanks, BigDaddy0078
Unfortunately, packet loss is often linked to wireless networks, especially in mobile settings. Your choices are: Adjust the range extender position (even a 1-foot move can help), switch to another wireless channel (common ones are 1, 6, 11 on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi), or consider 5.0GHz if available. Beyond that, options are limited. Wireless isn't ideal for gaming, and powerline has its own drawbacks. Let me know if you'd like someone to check further details.
The exact model of the range extender isn't specified here, but you can check its details by looking it up. It should be able to list the available Wi-Fi sources once authenticated with your router.
Many repeaters or range extenders retransmit on the identical channel, leading to additional interference.
