WiFi.

Does anyone know how to fix high packet loss? (which has strong signal strength)
100mb up/down + wifi = lagspikes
Probably won't happen if you have 300n (or higher or 5Ghz.)

Have to ask yourself "Why am i using wifi?" if the answer is something like "I dont want to have a long wire running through my house.. or i dont want to drill holes" then there is a solution.
PowerLan it's called, internet through your electricity wires

@ Sauron,

Not enough information creating endless possibilities.

Low memory "Home Router" upgrade to "Business Class" and/ or specific Gaming Routers has solved similar issues.

Then your own system's state, hardware and software.
How many cell phones, tablets, notebooks ... connected.
Interferences

Some packet loss (%1) and ping variations are expected and considered "normal".

Being able to use third party Firmware to enable Advanced/ hidden options also has helped me.

I'd go with minimum Cat 5e cable Gb to Gb ... wifi will always be up and down ... there are so many variables. Some situations the "problem" was solved taking few steps, some, many steps and many that required no steps and worked outa the box.

Actually even powerLAN has inconsistent connection stability. It's better than wifi though.

Unless EB has been using the same PC for the last 10 years, I'm pretty sure you can exclude that from the list of causes.
I would try LAN first to determine whether it's due to the wifi or not. Can be something else.

One of them "many possibilities" that only the user knows and can check.

Hardware make and model, ISP, wiring, outgoing Network traffic ... could be something simple!

PowerLAN relies on the Electrical wiring, Panels, Breakers, Circuits and could perform differently in a place that uses electric stove, water heater, heater, A/C ...

For online gaming aiming to achieve highest possible stability rate ... connection, traffic, packet loss, jitters ... cable/ Fibre are hard to beat depending on the hardware, firmware and setup.

But as Minato mentioned, Wi-Fi performance could be at it's highest /best possible and problem be elsewhere.

You should just do what i do and have 30m lan wires going all over the place :biggrin: depending on distance from router why not add another wireless point to cut out the distance between you and the router

I use a switch inbetween for all the connections in the bedrooms. Much easier than laying cables from your downstairs router.

I used wi-fi untill 2/3 weeks back. The LAN cable I used to use broke and I had to use wifi. Worked decently but the cable is more stable for sure.

Only downside: getting the cable from the 1st to 3rd floor without drilling in the ceilings :mrgreen: 35 metres from router to pc. Have fun.

The good part: within 2 weeks I have to do it all over again YAYYY

It's open to interpretation, that's the point.

There are some "tricks" that makes running cables floor to floor, basement to third floor, a lot easier. I've seen so many different scenarios, each with a solution.

If you are going to stay in the house/ apartment you are for SOME time, it doesn't take much to run a single wire to a Switching Hub to feed another section of the house, even with concrete and bricks.

Other solution we have used in hard to "go through" places is a use of a wireless repeaters/ access points/ bridges ... in a part with the least interference ... and then to a switching hub.

I liked Yngwa better before he turned into Andre the Giant but have to blame this Forum ... things are contagious here.

He reminded me of the great SoF player MCNE but now I'm not so sure about that.


Well .... c'est la vie
