Hey guys, I have a question and wasn’t sure who to ask.
Basically I just moved and I’m unable to hardwire my Xbox . I’m staying in a basement and the router is on the first floor. After testing, the connection is supposed to be good but I experience lag quite often when gaming. I was considering buying the Nighthawk pro for gaming to help combat this. What I was wondering was
-is this a good method to help with lag -I’m only one floor down directly beneath the router/modem, would the distance be a problem since I can’t hardwire
What speeds do you get over 2.4ghz and 5ghz in your current location?
Are you connected to 5ghz for gaming? (you should be)
The key is to find where the lag/slow downs are coming from. If its related to the router, an upgrade might help. If its related to the speeds you pay for, it might not. So the key is to figure out where the current issue is coming from before throwing $ at the problem

I would say so yes, QoS will help to eliminate local congestion and the Geo-Filter will help to get you closer servers. The WiFi should be strong enough if you're right under it
