Typically I expect 55ms in netgraph for cs go, but sometimes it jumps to 75ms or more. To stabilize it, I turn off and back on my Wi-Fi or reset the router. I’m wondering why this happens and if there’s anything else on the network using bandwidth that I might not notice. Any advice would be helpful?
You can view your router configurations by connecting your device directly to the router—typically the second port—disconnecting other connections and entering the router’s IP in your browser. You’ll need to input the login credentials, which are usually found on a label on the router’s back. Most router programs let you see connected devices and their bandwidth usage.

Please provide the model number of both your modem and router so we can best help you out. Resetting networking equipment allows its' internal NVRAM to clear out, which can help with performance should it be a poorly designed modem or router that gets bogged down as the NVRAM is read/written to over time while powered on. Some modems and routers are poor quality, and actually operate worse than plugging in Ethernet cables to a potato, so knowing the model numbers can help us determine if you should replace your existing hardware first.
The router is an Archer C50 v2 and I need to follow up on the modem. It functions as a wireless device, but I won’t reset it during this step. Just keep saying what you mean, okay? If you believe a 60% difference isn’t important in CS GO, then you’re not playing the game.
Ah, there be the problem. The Archer C50 is decent for what it is, however, it's a $50 CAD (so even less in USD) router capable of handling a couple devices in an apartment sized residence OK. I highly recommend upgrading to the TP-Link Archer C7 as this unit is much better for around double the price, and can actually handle running third party firmware properly, such as DD-WRT or OpenWRT which can provide more stability overall. https://www.dd-wrt.com/forum/viewtopic.p...82#1098682 According to the above forums, a user has mailed in their C50 v2 hardware to Brainslayer (one of the DD-WRT developers/admins) to see about getting custom firmware for it. Brainslayer has confirmed that the C7 firmware appears to be adaptable for the C50, but no updates have been made since then, so I wouldn't hold my breath. This custom firmware isn't required for a router to be good, however, it fixes a lot of problems relating to performance and stability over time.
It seems the system needs time for devices to reconnect after a reset. That explains why there’s more bandwidth available initially, but it fills up once everything is connected. When I link to our router, I notice the bandwidth distribution looks like this: even if you connect wirelessly, you can reach it by typing its IP address into your browser.
This device was bought during a discount period after some investigation. Looking back, I might have spent more, but because it’s nearly two years old, I could make up for it. Appreciate the link. How do you actually connect through the browser? Which model are you using?
The image comes from the TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 but it runs Gargoyle firmware. We also have a Mikrotik, but I don’t know its model or current OS. Could you tell me what firmware is installed on your router? That way I can help you find more information online.
