Way to verify if delays come from your local connection
Way to verify if delays come from your local connection
Hi there, I run a MC server and noticed that as more players join, their ping rises too. I want to check if this is caused by my local network or a problem with the old Wi-Fi router acting as a WAP and switch connected via Ethernet, or if it’s related to my internet service provider. The Speedtest.net shows 10ms ping, but that might not reflect real-world performance under heavy load—even one player can cause ping over 1000. Thanks, Eli.
Check your router's IP address. If the server is on Windows, locate your default gateway or router IP by opening Command Prompt and typing ipconfig. Next, execute ping routersip -t and observe the results. Record the "time" details. You're connected directly to your router with minimal latency under 1ms.
You need to run the test while users experience the issue to determine if it's local. Also, does it affect all users simultaneously? Make sure the Minecraft server isn't struggling with memory or other problems—this seems more likely a server-side issue.
Is it available on your local network? You might want to connect several nearby devices to check if it causes the issue. I don’t have the exact version, but I remember running into problems with bigger worlds in Java until you adjusted the memory settings in the startup command for the server. Of course, this was long before the Bedrock edition was released.
