MTU PS4
Hello so I’ve changed my mtu on PS4 and on my XR500 I’ve expericed about 10% speeds upload and download and and have experienced a little less latency but I am just not satisfied I do get the router m...
What do you mean i have a type 2 on ps4 does this mean double nat ?
Your ISP model # tells us it's a modem and router built in, so having the XR router connected to it, would cause a double NAT in this configuration. First post suggests a couple of options for working with modem router combo units.
NAT Type 2 for PS consoles means there is a router in between the console and modem, this is normal. Only way to get NAT Type 1 is to directly connect game console to a modem only unit.
ok yea sure its a gateway but i put the gateway in bridgemode
- Sounds to me like your setup is optimal. MTU for gaming is one of those myths that it improves your experience.
- Ok, and one last question on this thread, so when pinging my gateway in CMD (192.168.1.1) I get a Response time of 1ms and when benchmarking for the fastest dns I get 1.1.1.1 I get an average 13ms with 1.1.1.1 so I’ve came across that I can actually use my gateway as a DNS so would it be more beneficial to use 192.168.1.1 as my DNS ? I also came across in game my latency feels insanely faster Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 - I posted a response in your other topic about DNS
