Nighthawk ax5400 xr1000 bandwidth mbps capped pc gaming traffic wifi 6
Netgear Nighthawk speed test comes back with ~980 mbps download speeds. All devices LAN (Eth) or Wifi get normal download speeds when viewing media, downloading content, streaming etc. When a game ...
I tested with qos on and off. I prioritized traffic by device and application. Im monitoring the speed in the Network Monitor tab. Evrything works fine wired and wireless unless its game data traffic. Any device running gaming traffic only pc or console will get scaled back to .2mbps.
Ahh I see. Gaming doesn't use a lot of bandwidth at all, it's not being throttled, that is just how much it is actually using, so it's all fine
Thats what i was thinking. I couldnt find anything on the web that show how much bandwidth is used in actual multiplayer games. I assumed when p[aying there would be spikes depending on the situation. My ping is fine most of the time, latency is fine and no packet loss. It seemed that people were a couple of steps ahead of me once i bought my own gear (modem and router). Can you confirm your bandwidth speeds in game? Thank you!
- grahamer I don't play too often but 0.2Mbps is about right - gaming will very rarely go above 1Mbps and thats usually if you're hosting a game which you wouldn't be with the servers most games use
