Nighthawk X4S C7800 - Random Lag/Disconnectivity
I'm experiencing very consistent lag spikes with this router. I have 1GB internet through Comcast. I ran several speed tests and the internet speeds aren't the issue. I've tried rebooting the router, ...
Is it a specific game thats having the issue or all of the games?
Is it a gaming platform like ps4, xbox, or is it a pc?
How is it connected? Wireless, wired
do you have a snap shot of your modem connections page? I've seen connections be boarderline and work for the most part and then randomly cutout due to the boarderline connection.
Any sketchy, loose, corroded connections? These can cause random drops. As can kinked lines, moisture within the cable, or even low quality coax cables. Try removing any splitters, amplifiers, 90 degree elbows that might be in the line.
Hi Plemans,
I've only been playing one game at the time I was experiencing the random lag spikes on the PS4 (Wired). However, I confirmed with multiple people at the time and no one else was also experiencing the connection issues and I could also confirm that it was only me through my choppy voice chat audio in game chat.
Can you clarify as to what you mean by the modem connections page?
I can confirm that it's not the connections as the complete drop in connection happens on all devices. I had it happen on both my wired laptop and the PS4. There was a splitter in before I had the 1GB internet installed but it was removed upon install months back before I began experiencing these issues.
