- Theres no best to use subnet, it won't affect your online gaming performance. As long as its not the same as the upstream router/modem then you're fine.
idk what that means idk what subnet mask to use ....
- Just use the default one which is 255.255.255.0, otherwise if you change it and you don't know what you're doing then you will encounter issues.
i use 255.255.255.0
