Extreme gaming lag on raids.
I play an mmorpg called Everquest with 53 other people weekly. While burning a target on raids the lag is extremely bad, so bad I can’t click my buttons. Many other people in the raids have complained...
We are all connected at our individual homes located in different states etc. We aren't all at my house.
I just removed the switch from the setup and connected the PC directly into the router. When I connect the PC straight to the modem I dont get internet access for some reason.
The problem is we only raid a few nights a week and the lag only happens at certain points on certain events when we are all burning and stacked on top of one another so its hard to test when I make changes outside of raiding hours.
I normally shut the modem down for 30 second when I switch the device connected to the modem.
As for speed or lag when others connect to your server at home they are using mostly your upload speed which is 40Mbps since your connection is 1024 Mbps Down and 40 Mbps Up.
In my experience with this router even if you have a Gig Speed connection this router will only go upto !/2 a Gigabit per second max.
- So even though my speed results at Speedtest.net is 950 should I only input 500 download speed into the bufferbloat QOS input of the router?
- It’s usually just me playing at my house so nobody else is using up the 40 mbps upload.
- No I wouldn't suggest doing that, you may throttle your connection unnecessarily, unless you want to actively use QoS then a good way of doing that would be to put in lower speeds then lower the percentage so you can be more precise.
