Question Random disconnection occurs during a wired connection?
I have an ASUS RT BE92U Router with AT&T fiber 500mg. Are there specific settings for gaming that I should adjust? I’m experiencing random disconnects while playing Battlefield 6 on a wired connection. The servers are fine, but I get the "Could not find default gateway" error.
I don’t have any information about it, but here’s a picture of the app. There’s a link to the router app image below. Any idea? Picture of app
There is no such thing as a "gaming" router and generally there are no settings you can change to improve gaming.
I used to really like asus products, both motherboards and routers. They have become the king of bundled bloatware.
They have kinda given up on putting "gaming router" on their boxes and have moved to "AI router". I think they still reserve most their so called "AI" for their wifi mesh. It is still a marketing lie. I have not looked to see what in the massive number of features they have auto enabled. Their auto security/software update bothers me. They already pushed a flawed update that actually introduced a security exposure to routers for a period of time. This though will not directly causes a issue in games.
I doubt it is the asus router but since ATT fiber uses a router rather than a modem/ont I would remove the asus router temporarily and see if your problem goes away.
The test is fairly standard to find disconnect problems. The first would be leave a constant ping run to 8.8.8.8 in a background windows while you play the game. If you get packet loss or extremely large spikes (like over 150ms extra) in the latency then you can go farther to determine the source of the loss. If you see no loss the problem is much more complex and likely is related to how the game company ISP connect to ATT or some strange issue in the game company servers.
The problem might lie with your PC. Change the cables and ports (on your router). If you're using those flat ethernet cables that come with many products, discard them and use a better quality one.
Does your setup also allow wireless internet? If yes, switch to it and check if there are any variations in how connections drop.
Yes, it works with wireless. You might also need to adjust the port on the AT&T modem since there are many options available.
Then you don't have a network hardware issue. You have some other issue.
